Thriving in an ‘always on’ world

Although medical professionals will be acutely aware of the need to always be on call, in an increasingly digital world, this is becoming easier than ever – particularly when surgeons and MedTech reps don’t need to be in the exact physical location to work together. 

This is the thinking behind our new Rods&Cones companion app – which we’re confident will change how MedTech companies resource their specialists around the world. The Expert Address Book – which classifies experts by name, expertise (being domain, procedure, or product), availability, location, and language – is designed to help surgical teams access the right support faster, and from anywhere. 

However, in order to embrace new tools like this, MedTech companies will need to shift their staffing model to ensure someone is always available; which means adding expertise tags and other specialist attributes based on search parameters. So, what will doing this achieve? There are three core benefits:

• Expedited access to specialists from anywhere, at any time.
• A hybrid workforce model, empowering MedTech to control their schedules.
• Operational, communication, and financial efficiencies.

5 simple steps to connect with an expert 

Technology shouldn’t add another layer of complication to an already complex procedure. If you need to call on the best medical expertise the world has to offer, without the need for them to scrub into the OR, access should be straightforward and take seconds. 

That’s why there are only five simple steps to connect your OR with an outside expert: 

1. Access the Expert Address Book from any R&C mobile device, such as your panOR or mirrOR.
2. Identify a profile of expertise based on relevant tags. 
3. Scan the QR code with your visOR to call an expert with this profile of expertise.
4. Let the hunting feature find an available expert anywhere in the world. 
5. Begin the remote session to get a second pair of eyes in the OR.

If you already know some experts who could help, you can also search for the expert by name or pick an expert you know matches the expertise profile, check their availability (green dot), scan the QR code and the session will start.
