The Coordination Gap

The information exists.
Nobody can find it.

Auth status is in a payer portal. Lab results are faxed. Clearances arrive the morning of surgery, or not at all. Your coordinators are managing it manually, in spreadsheets, with no way to know what needs attention today versus what can wait until tomorrow.

The Coordination Gap

The information exists.
Nobody can find it.

Every piece of information required to clear a surgical case for day of surgery exists somewhere. The authorization is in a payer portal. The lab result is in a system. The clearance is in a fax queue or a filing cabinet. The problem is not that the information does not exist. The problem is that no one can see all of it, in one place, in time to act.

Fragmented Systems

Your systems
don't talk.

Your ASC runs on SIS or Provation. The referring clinic runs on Athena, eCW, or Prognosis. Labs are faxed. Auth status lives in a payer portal. Medical clearances arrive the morning of surgery, or not at all.

MedOptim does not replace any of these systems. It sits between them, surfaces every gap, and routes the right task to the right person, days before your patient walks in.

"We don't find out a clearance is missing until the patient is in pre-op. By then there's nothing we can do."

The Manual Fallback

400 lines.
No priority order.

When systems don't communicate, people build workarounds. Typically a spreadsheet. Coordinators at busy clinics manage hundreds of open cases across dozens of surgeons and multiple facilities, all tracked in a document that has no way to tell them what needs attention today versus what can wait until next week.

The information is there. But there is no system for prioritization, no deadline visibility, no alert when something falls through, and no way for the ASC to know what the clinic knows.

"I'm not sure how she decides what to work on."

The Solution

A prioritized work queue.
Sorted by day of surgery.

MedOptim replaces the spreadsheet with a structured work queue. Every open requirement, sorted by day of surgery and urgency, so your coordinator always knows exactly what to work on next.

About MedOptim

Built for the
people running ORs.

MedOptim is a healthcare technology company. We build surgical coordination infrastructure for ambulatory surgery centers and the clinics that refer to them.

Our Background

We have been in
the room.

Since 2012, we have worked inside the clinical environments most software companies only read about. We have been in physician practices, ambulatory surgery centers, hospital systems, and emergency departments, watching firsthand how surgical coordination actually works. We have sat next to coordinators and nurses managing cases in spreadsheets, watched clearances arrive the morning of surgery, and have seen what happens to an OR schedule when one piece of information is missing at the wrong moment.

We have worked with Epic, Athena, eClinicalWorks, PrognoCIS, SIS, gMed, and a dozen others. We know that the problem is never the software. It is the space between the software, where nothing is automated, nothing is visible, and someone has to make a phone call to find out what should already be on a screen.

MedOptim is what we built after watching that problem long enough to understand it.

How We Operate

Principles we
build by.

01
Platform, not labor.
MedOptim surfaces gaps. ASC and clinic staff resolve them. We are not a staffing service, an outsourced coordination team, or a billing company.
02
Provider-to-provider only.
We operate between your ASC and your referring clinics. We do not contact patients, submit authorizations, or interact with payers directly.
03
Honest onboarding.
We limit onboarding deliberately. If MedOptim is not the right fit for your case volume or structure, we will tell you before you spend a dollar.
