Abstract
TAFUR BETANCOURT, Luis Alberto et al. Development of MyCheckTime® software for perioperative safety based on Toyota's Lean Methodology. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2020, vol.48, n.1, pp.12-19. Epub Feb 28, 2020. ISSN 0120-3347. https://doi.org/10.1097/cj9.0000000000000148.
Introduction:
In the age of healthcare safety, compliance with checklists and time tracking in surgery continue to be a gray zone in care processes. The technology applied to approach this issue and other scenarios, may contribute to solve a problem that impacts welfare and the healthcare sector economics.
Objective:
To introduce the design and construction of the MyCheckTime® software that incorporates Toyota's Lean methodology under the concept of Bundles.
Materials and methods:
Using a conceptual map, 5 measures were incorporated into the bundle; the MyCheckTime® platform was built based on a software code developed in Java8, PHP, Javascript, HTML5, Angular4, MongoDB-MySQL databases, and Docker, Ionic, VertX, Laravel-implemented technologies.
Results:
A software (MyCheckTime®) was constructed based on an App available for tablets and IOS and Android system-based mobile devices; a web-based platform and a database. The software captures the patient's circuit in the surgical area in real time, and records the times in which the checklists were conducted.
Conclusion:
MyCheckTime® is a Lean Methodology-based software that potentially enables the surgical team to deliver more efficient, safer, and timely care, allowing real time recording of the patient's circuit in the surgery area.
