Procedure Card Analyst

The Procedure Card Analyst maintains, standardizes, and analyzes operating room procedure cards across designated care sites, focusing on optimizing card content—equipment, instruments, medications, supplies, and procedure standardization—with timely updates and revisions. Collaborating with physicians and perioperative leadership, the Analyst ensures content aligns with patient safety, clinical standards, and cost-saving objectives, while working with the Perioperative Supply Chain to maintain accurate supply data. Through qualitative and quantitative process improvements, the Analyst upholds IH standards, vision, and guiding principles, leading efforts to standardize and centralize key operational functions, mitigating compliance issues, supporting stewardship, and facilitating business platform implementation.
