The challenges of surgical integration
An operating room is a complex environment. The number of devices in the O.R. solving specific problems is increasing as technology advances. Today’s O.R.s are often crowded with freestanding devices, supporting systems and monitors, all with their own interfaces or hardware to display their data. Each software having its own interface makes maintaining a clear overview of all data more difficult and takes attention away from the patient. Furthermore, valuable time is lost manually connecting each device. Most O.R.s lack a high-level overview of all available patient information, making O.R.s inefficient, overcrowded, and less safe.
Consolidating surgical information
IT integration is a key element of any modern operating room. As a software company with over a thousand integrated O.R. installations at some of the most innovative institutions around the world, Brainlab is familiar with all kinds of IT landscapes and legacy system environments.
Brainlab Digital O.R. integration seeks to centralize the relevant information needed for surgery—be it from radiological studies, video sources, hardware or software—onto a single platform: Buzz. Straightforward integration with hospital information systems allows Buzz to gather and send the right data to the hospital archive at the right time.
