ExplORer Surgical, the only comprehensive intraoperative case support and workflow platform for surgical teams, is announcing enhanced efficiency and proficiency through its powerful data insight technology. ExplORer’s data specifically allows entire surgical teams to identify clear opportunities to improve patient outcomes that drive adoption and revenue gains for the device company over time.
In addition to customized content for each team member in the OR, the platform collects data, allows staff to record timestamps and save annotated images, and helps create actionable insights to improve inefficiencies. Compiled from thousands of surgeries, ExplORer found that up to 10 percent of intraoperative time is spent on preventable delays, which is consistent across most surgical specialties. In addition, research from ExplORer through the University of Chicago found that the largest contributing variable to intraoperative delays were new surgical team members learning a surgeon’s procedures and preferences.
“Our insights confirm that the surgical team has to be in sync to achieve efficiency. Our goal is to help prevent unnecessary delays by bringing best practices to teams, especially those who are less familiar with each other’s preferences,” said Jennifer Fried, CEO of ExplORer Surgical. “The platform’s unique ability to gather extensive data has allowed us to take a fine-toothed comb to find what works and what doesn’t. We can then further streamline the entire surgical procedure. The advantages are evident through surgical team productivity and improved patient results.”
