Surgical Planning

Medidata Surgical Planning is a secure, connected platform designed for medical device companies, implanting physicians, and healthcare providers involved in complex surgical procedures. As devices and surgical approaches grow increasingly sophisticated, the platform delivers real-time image access and live case collaboration so that device teams, implanters, and care teams can review cases earlier and prepare with greater clarity before each procedure.

Built to scale across hundreds of sites, Medidata Surgical Planning standardizes surgical planning workflows while keeping every stakeholder connected to the information they need. The platform eliminates unsecured image sharing, reduces time spent acquiring case information, and replaces non-compliant communication practices such as texting images between representatives and care teams.

Core Capabilities

• Secure Image Access: Provides a HIPAA-compliant environment for exchanging patient information, images, and case documentation, removing the risks associated with unsecured sharing methods.
• Real-time Image Review: Enables device teams and physicians to analyze medical images thoroughly using robust viewing and analysis tools that support optimal procedure planning.
• Remote Case Review: Allows device representatives and valve coordinators to review every film and plan procedures without physically traveling to each site, making large-scale program management feasible.
• Centralized Case Planning: Consolidates imaging, patient data, and case notes in one connected workflow so all relevant parties can access and act on the same information.
• Multi-site Coverage: Supports consistent surgical planning standards across geographically distributed sites, enabling teams to scale programs to hundreds of locations.

Benefits for Medical Device Companies

• Gain case-level visibility into upcoming procedures and review relevant imaging and documentation before arriving on site.
• Anticipate device needs and coordinate support across territories more effectively.
• Shift field team interactions from data collection toward clinical alignment with physicians.
• Eliminate the operational burden of driving to every account for pre-procedure planning.
• Strengthen partnerships with care teams through earlier and more informed engagement.

Benefits for Implanting Physicians and Care Teams

• Access imaging and case notes remotely ahead of procedures to support better preparation.
• Collaborate in real time with device company representatives and other healthcare providers through live video and secure data sharing.
• Support customized device selection through integrated, timely access to patient data.
• Enable valve coordinators and other team members to upload documents that all stakeholders can review prior to the case.

Planning and Analysis Tools

• Robust image viewing and analysis tools allow users to thoroughly examine imaging for optimal surgical planning.
• Early identification and remediation of potential issues supports better patient outcomes and reduced costs.
• Live case collaboration features connect all relevant parties in real time during the planning process.

Training and Support
