Effective communication is essential both inside and outside of the operating room. Inside the O.R., a high degree of coordination between individuals is necessary to lower risk-adjusted morbidity and avoid adverse events3. During surgery, external collaboration can be key to achieving optimal outcomes, however, clinical experts may not always be available to attend. Witnessing surgeries enriches medical students’ education, but an increase in traffic in the O.R. can also mean an increase in risk of infection for the patient Fostering effective exchange Brainlab Digital O.R. technology strives to consolidate communication to ensure that the entire team has simultaneous access to the same information in the O.R., but also to make essential information available beyond the O.R. At the touch of a finger on the Buzz user interface, information and video can be streamed and shared to other locations outside the O.R., expanding teaching and expert collaboration opportunities. Efficient O.R. teamwork With dozens of workflows, processes and tasks happening simultaneously, even in the most organized O.R.s, a high degree of coordination and clear communication between all personnel involved is essential. To keep all members of the surgical team on the same page—from nurses to anesthesiologists to surgeons—Brainlab has developed tools that are accessible from all O.R. displays. Surgical Checklist—Automated, customizable surgical checklist allows the surgical team to follow the time out procedure, the record of which is saved automatically to the patient record
