Excellence in SIS Solution Utilization
Facilities selected as SIS ASC Showcase Sites represent the highest level of proficiency in utilizing SIS solutions. Deer Valley has fully leveraged key components of the SIS Complete platform, including:
- SIS Office and SIS Link: Replacing unreliable fax-based scheduling with confirmed electronic submissions, helping reduce scheduling turnaround from weeks to days. Utilized by over 80% of their physicians' offices.
- SIS Charts: Delivering easy-to-use electronic clinical documentation, with providers reaching proficiency within their first few cases.
- SIS Exchange: Driving high patient portal utilization to deliver pre-op and post-op instructions and strengthen patient communication across a large case volume.
- Analytics and Insights: Providing actionable visibility into case times, on-time starts, antibiotic timing, and case costing reducing turnaround times to 15-20 minutes between cases.
Deer Valley has further extended the platform's value through integrations with systems for operative note transcription, laboratory and specimen tracking, patient experience surveys, and anesthesia image capture, demonstrating a commitment to interoperability and operational excellence.
"We are proud to recognize Deer Valley Surgical and Endoscopy Center for its outstanding implementation of SIS Complete and its role as a leader in technology-driven ASC operations," said Daren Smith, VP of ASC Solutions and Showcase Program Director at SIS.
