What does hospital innovation mean for patients? Sometimes, it starts behind the scenes.
Cambridge Memorial Hospital partnered with the University of Waterloo’s Health AI and Analytics Lab to develop Picktacular, a new tool designed to help our operating room and inventory teams better review and standardize surgical supply lists.
The goal is to make it easier for teams to see supply patterns, reduce unnecessary variation, support smarter inventory decisions and limit avoidable waste.
For patients, this work supports a stronger, more efficient hospital system, helping care teams spend more time focused on what matters most: safe, high-quality care.
The platform is now under review at CMH. Learn more on our website. https://www.cmh.org/node/408.
