Did you know that surgery generates about 60% of total hospital revenue?
Your job is not only saving lives, it also accounts for a huge part of your hospital’s
profitability.
And as we all get older, there will be even more surgery! Researchers predict that, by
2020, surgeries will have increased by almost 47%!
Imagine what that will do for your hospital’s income!
But…to deal with the growing number of patients, you’ll have to work more efficiently.
And that could be a challenge.
Because today’s operating rooms are very complex environments, impeding efficient routines.
They’re stuffed with all kinds of systems and devices, causing cable clutter and distraction.
Maintenance downtimes and cumbersome technical setups slow down your workflow.
And people run in and out for all kinds of reasons.
In short, critical time and resources are wasted.
To run your surgical suite better and face future challenges, you’ll need a solution
that integrates all devices in the OR.
Why? Because integration saves time and money.
Result? More efficient procedures and higher hospital revenue.
But watch out! Not all solutions offer true integration. Here’s why in a nutshell:
Traditional systems need a huge stack of cables to connect devices like endoscopy cameras,
surgical displays, patient monitoring systems and C-arms.
It’s very difficult to set up your operating room with this cable clutter. Finding the
right cables for each device can take ages!
Even when you finally start operating, you won’t have access to all the information
you need, like lab results or body scans. So you’ll have a hard time making well-informed
decisions!
And how about sharing your information with team members or someone who’s not in the
OR? Well, good luck with that!
That’s why we developed NEXXIS, a digital operating room platform that boosts operational
efficiency, increases patient safety and generates more revenue.
How? By using a central IP hub to integrate cameras,
lighting, monitors, scanners, image view boxes, and so on.
With this kind of system, you’ll just build and grow as you need to. The possibilities
are endless. Because IP-based devices all use the same
type of cable, you can simply plug and play. Setting up the operating room becomes a piece
of cake, and there’s no more cable clutter.
The system pulls information from wherever it’s located and shares it over the network
with whomever needs it, whether inside the hospital or at remote sites. And all this
without delay!
Your colleagues will be able to observe operations from outside the OR, which means more staff
can follow the procedure for better clinical results.
Key patient information will be at your fingertips, so you can make more informed decisions. Without
losing sight of your patient’s privacy.
The whole system is managed remotely. So IT can do maintenance and upgrades without entering
the OR, which reduces repair and maintenance downtimes.
But the OR also needs to be profitable. By streamlining workflow, you’ll handle more
patients per day with fewer resources.
Ultimately, this digital OR platform will help save your hospital thousands of dollars
each day.
