Increasingly, hospitals require more versatile operating room environments to support video, data, and telecommunications, as well as to be immediately visible and at the fingertips of the surgical team. Digital OR integration provides tremendous advantages in improving clinical workflows, staff and operational efficiencies, accuracy, enhanced throughput, quality outcomes and safe patient care.
Determination of the OR integration and design plan should begin early, typically 2-3 years prior to projected opening and clinical use. In delivering a modern integrated OR, strategic determination must also be made for mounting structure placement of booms, surgical lights, and conduit runs supporting multiple HD flat panel displays (typically 4 or more). Flexibility for positioning HD images in and around the entire surgical field is critical to high-value impact upon future surgical suite workflows and efficiency.
