About
DocSpera is a comprehensive surgical care management platform designed to streamline every stage of the surgical workflow — from initial scheduling to post-operative recovery. Built for surgical teams of all sizes, DocSpera integrates seamlessly with existing EMR and PACS systems, eliminating the need for new manual steps while dramatically improving operational efficiency. The platform offers four core solution areas: Integrated Surgical Scheduling enables real-time care coordination across multiple sites, teams, and device vendors; Patient Readiness and Prioritization uses AI to automate readiness assessments and recover cancelled surgeries before they result in lost OR time; Automated Vendor Synchronization digitizes case planning and implant ordering with no cost to providers; and Analytics & Insights delivers a holistic view of patient care, operational metrics, and outcomes. DocSpera serves over 400 institutions and supports specialties including Orthopaedics, Spine/Neurosurgery, Cardiovascular, Dental, Oncology, ENT, and more. It is trusted by thousands of surgeons and device partners nationwide, with integrations into leading health systems. The platform helps surgical practices reduce administrative burden, improve communication across care teams, better anticipate inventory needs, and focus more time on patient care rather than operational complexity. A new ASC (Ambulatory Surgery Center) Solutions Package is also available to help outpatient surgical facilities optimize their workflows.
