Modern preference cards for Military & VA operating rooms.
PREFcards helps federal surgical teams standardize surgeon preference cards, reduce supply waste, and
give OR leaders faster access to accurate, usable information — supporting mission-ready surgical
teams while fitting alongside the systems and workflows already in place.
Supporting the needs of federal healthcare and surgical programs
Federal OR workflow
Give surgical teams one clear source for preference card work.
Federal facilities manage complex surgical programs, large supply catalogs, and multiple systems. PREFcards
keeps the preference-card layer simple: easy for staff to use, fast to maintain, and useful to leadership.
01 / CARDS
Standardize and update cards quickly.
Build surgeon- and procedure-specific cards, make bulk edits, keep version history, and give staff a consistent format that is easier to read in the OR.
02 / SUPPLIES
Connect card data to actual supply usage.
Capture what was opened, used, held, or wasted and turn that information into better card maintenance, purchasing decisions, and standardization opportunities.
03 / INSIGHT
Give leaders practical OR analytics.
See procedure costs, variation by surgeon, item usage patterns, and preference-card opportunities without forcing clinical teams into spreadsheets or manual audits.
Veterans Affairs
Working with established VA technology partners.
PREFcards works with DSS and LiveData in the VA perioperative environment, adding focused
preference-card and surgical-supply workflows alongside the broader perioperative technology stack.
LiveData and DSS announced the integration of PREFcards into LiveData PeriOp Manager for VA perioperative
workflows. The combined approach brings preference card management together with established surgical
workflow technology.
Keep your existing systems. Improve the preference-card workflow.
PREFcards is designed to exchange information with EHR, scheduling, supply-chain, inventory, and
sterile-processing systems rather than forcing a facility to replace them.
↔
Flexible integration
Use APIs, HL7, FHIR, SFTP, scheduled feeds, or other approved exchange methods based on the facility and available interfaces.
⌁
Card migration
Start from existing Word, Excel, PDF, scanned, or exported preference cards instead of rebuilding everything manually.
✓
Controlled access
Use role-based permissions so clinical staff, administrators, and leaders see the tools appropriate to their work.

How does PREFcards integrate with VA and Military Health System technology?
PREFcards works with DSS and LiveData in the VA perioperative environment, adding a focused preference-card and surgical-supply workflow alongside the broader perioperative technology stack. We also support APIs, HL7, FHIR, SFTP, and scheduled data feeds for other federal facility systems, scoped with local clinical, IT, and cybersecurity stakeholders before implementation.
Can PREFcards start with a limited rollout instead of a full facility overhaul?
Yes. Federal teams do not need to change every workflow on day one. PREFcards can begin with a targeted set of high-use cards, establish the preferred format and review process, and then expand as the clinical team is ready.
Is PREFcards HIPAA compliant and hosted securely?
Yes. PREFcards is hosted on AWS, HIPAA compliant, and built around role-based permissions so clinical staff, administrators, and leaders see only the tools appropriate to their work.
What if our facility has hundreds of paper, Word, or scanned preference cards?
PREFcards can start from existing Word, Excel, PDF, scanned, or exported preference cards instead of rebuilding everything manually, so your team isn’t starting from a blank slate.
