| | September 20196UTLOOKHealthcare Tech Alex D'souzaManaging Editoreditor@healthcaretechoutlook.comI remember reading a story that recently surfaced where a woman sued Yale-New Haven Hospital for removing a part of the wrong rib and then forcing her to undergo the second surgery in a single day to operate on the right one. Later, the hospital released the statement accepting its mistake and apologizing to the patient. The case highlighted the errors that could happen in an operating room. Though such errors are fairly uncommon, these and other preventable ones like providing a wrong sized tool during the surgery do occur. Consequently, it is of critical importance to eliminate operating room errors and drive efficiency and quality of surgical care. Such an initiative will also help hospitals increase their revenue as the majority of it is driven by operating rooms. However, the hospitals, which have eagerly adopted technology for their pre- and postoperative processes, are yet to modernize their intra-operative operations. Today, many operating rooms still use paper when it comes to organize how the facilities work and how the staff coordinates. On the contrary, modern operating room management solutions can enhance safety, efficiency, and profitability of healthcare providers. The solutions allow physicians to set up operating rooms as per their preferences in terms of the equipment they like to use and the procedure they want to follow. Instead of relying on the paper guides, each member of the team can access single digital guide to surgery preferences in real time and with multimedia support. The solutions come with everything from videos about assembling equipment to instructions on which personnel will perform what role in the surgery. Furthermore, the amalgamation of multiple technologies such as AI, AR, voice recognition, IoT, mobility, and the cloud is set to redefine operating room management completely. In fact, Research and Markets, a provider of market research and data services, predicts the global operating room management market to reach $3.41 billion in 2022. This edition brings you some of the most prominent companies that specialize in Operating room management and have excelled with their service and will be major drivers of the aforementioned trends to mainstream.Let us know your thoughts!The Ground Zero of Efficient HealthcareEditorialManaging EditorAlex D'souzaEditorial StaffAaron PaulJoe PhillipJames SmithDean WinchesterVisualizerSalesRichard Watson rwatson@healthcaretechoutlook.comUTLOOKHealthcare Tech Copyright © 2019 ValleyMedia Inc.
