Streamlining OR workflows while ensuring data integrity
OR integration transforms image quality and efficiency at Ichinomiya Municipal Hospital in Japan. The result is higher quality, more efficient operating room procedures – and a big step forward for patient data integrity.
Impact of implementing OR Integration
Higher image and video quality
More efficient OR procedures
Enhanced patient data security
Reduced staff stress
The most visible change was a huge improvement in image and video sharpness. Seamless distribution of images and videos helped our surgeons to conduct procedures with confidence.
From analog to digital surgical imaging
When Ichinomiya Municipal Hospital made the leap from analog to digital imaging with centralized device control, the results were instant. Time-consuming camera setup procedures disappeared and auto-storage of images and video directly enhanced transparency and privacy of patient data.
Introducing Tegris has reduced surgery time, resulting in lower patient stress and more efficient use of our operating rooms and equipment.
Reduced strain for nurses
Nurses found their workloads reduced because they were no longer required to install equipment in the operating rooms before each surgery or to shift equipment around post-surgery. With new universal connectors, automatic detection of connected signals/cameras, the nurses simply plug the cable and it works. Additionally, the new setup in the operating rooms, with cables hidden and sockets properly installed, has lead to having less equipment and made it easier to ensure high standards of infection control.
Centralized file management eliminated the previous process of copying post-surgery DVDs for the surgeons. “Images and video from each surgery are now
automatically archived in Tegris for documentation and later use by the surgeon and relevant staff. This makes for a much smoother process,” Mr. Arata explains.
Simple and intuitive for hospital staff
The preparation time for setting up the operating room prior to surgeries, and then returning it to its previous condition after an operation, has been reduced. In the cath lab, Tegris has cut preoperative and postoperative preparation time by 25 percent (in-house comparison), which the staff are delighted about.
“The centralized monitoring of images and videos in operating rooms and the cath lab makes an intuitive interface that is very user-friendly. Tegris is so easy for everyone to use, which improves our operability and safety,” Mr. Arata explains.
