Transform preference cards into OR performance
Apply technology and expertise to improve card accuracy, reduce waste, and drive reliable OR performance.
Outdated preference cards drain resources and delay care
Manual, inconsistent processes create waste, delays, and clinician strain. We unite technology and expertise to redesign workflows and sustain accuracy.
At a glance
The scale and cost of preference card inaccuracy
Inaccuracy rates, outcome improvements, and operating model shifts strengthen the case for preference card transformation.

Current-state reality
Reduce the waste created by inaccurate preference cards
When preference card data is wrong, the impact reaches far beyond documentation. Inaccurate cards delay procedures, increase waste, complicate room setup and pull clinical attention away from patient care. Vizient helps organizations address the operational drag that starts with card quality.
Technology plus expertise
Move from sporadic cleanup into continuous improvement
Vizient’s software continuously monitors preference card quality, generates actionable guidance and identifies savings opportunities. Paired with expert support, that helps providers replace ad hoc cleanup with a more disciplined model. The process becomes more proactive, consistent, and durable.
Operational impact
Improve efficiency while reducing variation
Stronger preference card management supports fewer wasted supplies, fewer delays, better billing accuracy, and greater standardization across procedures. That creates operational efficiencies and helps clinicians focus on care delivery. It turns a frustrating operational task into a real performance lever.
Sustain preference card quality
Unite software and expert support to sustain card quality and eliminate reactive cleanup cycles.
Our software continuously monitors preference card quality and surfaces actionable guidance. This real-time oversight enables your teams to address issues proactively rather than discovering problems during procedures.
We support your organization through comprehensive assessment, strategic design, effective deployment, and long-term sustainment. This end-to-end approach ensures you build lasting capabilities rather than relying on technology alone.
Better card quality directly reduces wasted supplies and eliminates room setup delays. Our approach connects card accuracy to tangible operational efficiency, creating measurable financial and clinical value.
Cleaner preference cards create more accurate documentation, which strengthens billing reliability. This connection between card quality and revenue cycle performance delivers financial value beyond supply cost reduction.
Our platform identifies opportunities to standardize preference cards across similar procedures. This evidence-based approach reduces unwarranted clinical variation while respecting legitimate differences in practice.
We design your program to sustain results over time rather than fade after initial implementation. This long-term focus ensures continuous improvement becomes embedded in your operations, not dependent on one-time cleanup efforts.
