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.
- In Room
- Anesthesia Ready
- Cut
- Closed
- Out of Room
Every case runs the same in-room sequence, and every room runs case after case. Five intervals per case turns into a hundred and eighty across a day, and the turnarounds between those cases add thirty more. Someone has to notice, time, and own each one.
No clipboard, spreadsheet, or end-of-month report keeps up with that. Synchrony Surgical measures all of it, in every room, while the day is happening.

Operating room efficiency
See how efficiently each case flows, and what the minutes saved or lost are worth across the whole OR schedule.

Measure the minutes between one patient leaving the room and the next coming in. Most systems never capture and post it visibly in real-time.
Learn more about Turnaround timeWhat makes the improvement stick
Define what each interval should take, display it while the room is still running, and analyse what changed. The third step feeds the first: when a target turns out to be wrong, you correct it and measure against the new one, so the gains outlast whoever championed them.
Set the expectation once
Every interval gets a time it should take and a surgical role that owns it. Both can differ by department and case type.
Everyone reads the same clock
One tap on the tablet in the room updates the dashboard and the in-OR display together, while there is still time to change it.
What the cases add up to
Once enough cases accumulate, you can slice performance by role, individual, department and period. Every figure converts to dollars.
The EMR question
Yes, your EMR records the times
Most teams who see this say they already have it, and they have part of it. Every EMR writes down when the patient came into the room and when they left, turnaround included. That is real, and it is worth conceding before anyone checks.
What it does not do is measure those times against what they were supposed to be, attribute them to the role that owned them, or put any of it in front of the team while the room is still running. Of the fifteen things a surgical team needs in order to manage a day, an EMR covers four. The other eleven are the ones that change what happens next.
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 itOne platform for surgical case flow
See how teams define their intervals, record each one with a single tap in the room, and watch performance as the day happens.
