Real-time perioperative performance improvement

Operating Room Efficiency Software for Hospitals and Surgery Centers

Synchrony communicates expectations and measures every interval in real time and displays performance providing the information necessary to achieve optimum Operating Room Efficiency. This results in improvements in surgeon and staff satisfaction and hospital/ASC economics.

Average Time Saved

89min / room / day

Saving of $4,183 / room / day

Surgical cases follow a predictable sequence from check-in to discharge — each providing a valuable opportunity for time savings.

Most operating rooms state their expectations loosely, measure a few of those intervals, and learn how the day actually went once it is over.

Synchrony communicates an expectation on every interval, measures each one in real time, and assigns it to the surgical role that owns it — so performance is visible while the day is still running and the analytics assemble themselves. Your team holds to its expectations, moves more cases through the day, keeps surgeons and staff happier, and spends less per case.

Every case follows a predictable sequence of intervals. There is currently very little ability to communicate management’s expectations for each interval, assign an individual responsible to meet the expectation, measure the expectation and gather the reasons for delays.

Synchrony Surgical takes care of these essential tasks for the OR management team on every case in every room seamlessly and provides real-time display that drives performance and automated valuable analytics.

Synchrony provides you everything you need to run an efficient operating room.

Do you experience these problems that affect your Operating Room Efficiency?

  • Difficulty in communicating your expectations to every new team member on every case.
  • Difficulty in creating accountability for staff and physicians.
  • Difficulty in measuring and displaying efficiency performance in real time.
  • Difficulty in identifying and collecting reasons for delay
  • Late arrival by surgeon or anesthesia
  • Delay in first case start with reasons
  • Variability in anesthesia induction times
  • Surgeons absent for positioning to allow for surgical prep.
  • Variability in surgical times
  • Long turnover times without identification of reasons or accountability.

Synchrony for all your operating room efficiency needs

Synchrony was built to address these problems for you in a seamless manner providing you communication, measurement, display and full analytics.

The EMR question

Unfortunately: your EMR, while recording some times fails to:

  • Communicate your expectations
  • Define who is responsible for each interval
  • Measure surgeon and Anesthesia arrival
  • Measure all important intervals
  • Provide real-time display of performance
  • Provide valuable analytics to improve your OR Efficiency

Proof

47 → 20

minutes of turnover

Defining and measuring interval expectations cut turnover from 47 to 20 minutes at Spine & Joint Institute. They did it manually. Synchrony is how you do it across every room without a spreadsheet and a champion.

How they did it
