    A new computerized system enhances operating room efficiency by scheduling and monitoring 24 ORs. This system provides real-time status updates and builds an anesthesia database for clinical studies and administrative reports.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Informatics
    • Hospital Management Systems
    • Operating Room Efficiency

    Background:

    • Managing twenty-four operating rooms in a large university hospital presents significant logistical challenges.
    • Effective scheduling, real-time monitoring, and status display are critical for optimal operating room utilization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To implement a computerized system for scheduling, monitoring, and displaying the status of 24 operating rooms.
    • To establish a comprehensive anesthesia database for retrospective clinical studies and administrative reporting.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and implementation of a computerized system integrating posting, scheduling, and status data.
    • Creation of a monitor display updated every twenty seconds, visible in thirteen locations.

  • Collection of pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative information for the patient record.

    • Main Results:

    • A centralized system for real-time operating room status monitoring has been successfully implemented.
    • The system provides immediate updates on room status across multiple locations within the operating room suite.
    • An anesthesia database has been established, facilitating data analysis and reporting.

    Conclusions:

    • The computerized system significantly improves operating room management through enhanced scheduling and real-time monitoring.
    • The developed anesthesia database provides a valuable resource for clinical research and hospital administration.
    • This integrated approach optimizes operating room workflow and supports data-driven decision-making.
