Use Cases

Description:

1) Video used for team dynamics and efficiency for room turnover and case readiness

2) Video used for intra-op clinical review, training, skill assessment, and CME

3) OR integration of A/V functionality including telepresence, remote access, and video monitoring of multiple ORs from the nursing station

4) Patient risk assessment and flagging for pre-op planning

5) Procedural process improvement using surgeon driven data science, with the goal of eliminating waste and improving outcomes

6) MedTech efficacy evaluation using a similar methodology to the procedural process improvement project

7) Operation analytics to track KPIs and identify variability in performance

8) Block scheduling tools to serve as an “Open Table” for block, making scheduling easier and reducing the number of cancelled cases 

Pediatric use cases:

Same application for pediatrics. MedTech evaluation can be an even greater need in pedaitrics where FDA use has not been approved.
