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

Surgical cases follow a predictable sequence, from check-in to discharge. Synchrony measures every interval in real time, so your team can hold to its expectations, move more cases through the day, keep surgeons and staff happier, and spend less per case.

Most operating room superficially state expectations, suffer with good measurement and track only a few metrics.

Synchrony Surgical communicates expectations on every interval, assigns responsibility to each, measures each, provides real-time visualization of performance and automates all important analytics.

How to get started

Synchrony allows you to perform a situational assessment on how your operating room is functioning, identifying reasons for delays and opportunities for improvement.

Synchrony then provides the opportunity to establish and communicate expectations to every team member, assign responsibility, measure performance and display results in a meaningful manner.

Define

Your team defines your expectations

You create the intervals that matter to you, set a time expectation for each, and assign it to the surgical role that owns it. Track across Pre-Op, OR, and PACU. Expectations can vary by department and by case type.

Display

Live, across every room

Staff confirm each interval on the tablet in the OR with a single tap, usually five times per case. Every confirmation shows up right away on the admin dashboard and the in-OR display, so one entry updates everything. Managers can watch all the rooms at once and catch one falling behind while there is still time to change the rest of the day.

Analysis

What changed, and by how much

Once enough cases have accumulated, the analytics answer the questions leadership asks. Has turnaround improved? How is this anesthesiologist doing compared with last quarter? Which role is costing the most minutes? You can slice performance by role, by individual, by department, and by period, and every figure converts from minutes into dollars.
