Surgical cases all follow a predictable sequence of tasks from check-in to discharge. Valuable efficiencies are gained by defining expectations for each interval and measuring them in real-time leads to improvement in case throughput, staff and professional satisfaction and significantly lowers the cost of care. Refer to our Case Study and view our Video on how this new application can bring valuable efficiencies to the Operating Room.
An efficient operating room will improve patient, staff, and surgeon satisfaction, improve hospital economics and reduce costs of care. Achieving significant improvements in operating room efficiency requires the communication of expectations and display of real-time data to drive performance and achieve measurable improvements.
Effective team performance requires clear communication of each member's individual expectations. Synchrony effectively communicates performance expectations for every interval in every case.
The immediate feedback on performance through an intuitive visual display rewards high performance and allows management to identify obstacles affecting surgical case flow.
Easily navigate and manage surgical data with a user-friendly interface designed to provide valuable insight into individual and team performance.
Synchrony allows each client to define their expectations related to each interval in the operative case flow. These expectations can vary according to department or case type. Once expectations are defined, they will be communicated on the tablet and measured.
Once the schedule is set the day before surgery, all cases are loaded through the administrative portal. This requires, on average, 30 seconds per surgery.

The tablet screen will identify all expectations and record performance through a touch screen. This starts in Pre-op where the Pre-op nurse identifies the patient is ready, and the Anesthesiologist and Surgeon sign-in. Then the intervals of: In Room - Anesthesia Ready - Cut - Closed - Out of Room. Progress is displayed in real time.
