A new passive monitoring system enhances operating room (OR) coordination by providing real-time status updates. This system improves situation awareness for clinicians and OR staff, optimizing surgical suite operations.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Surgical Workflow Optimization
  • Health Systems Engineering

Background:

  • Operating room (OR) coordination faces challenges in real-time situation awareness.
  • Accurate and timely status information is crucial for efficient surgical workflows.
  • Existing systems may lack distributed and secure real-time data capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and implement a passive status monitoring system for a surgical suite.
  • To enhance real-time operating room status awareness and coordination.
  • To evaluate the system's reliability, security, and network impact.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a passive monitoring system utilizing live operating room video and patient vital signs.
  • Integrated real-time operating room status display with access control and security features.

  • Implemented a "need-to-know" basis for image presentation, controlled by badge authorization.

    • Main Results:

    • The system reliably delivered real-time operating room images and status updates.
    • Network impact was within acceptable parameters.
    • Operating room status was visualized in 4 locations, continuously used by staff for coordination.

    Conclusions:

    • The passive status monitoring system effectively improved real-time situation awareness in the surgical suite.
    • The system facilitated better coordination of operating room activities among clinicians and service providers.
    • This technology offers a viable solution for enhancing operational efficiency in complex surgical environments.
