Inefficiencies occur when communications are fragmented, unavailable or ill timed, and processes become disjointed and ineffective. Bringing disparate information together on meaningful displays, LiveData closes the gap between the work processes of staff and hospital IT systems and clinical devices.

LiveData visual integration systems help reduce staff overtime, downtime and rescheduling; and they help clinicians track assets— equipment trays, for example—faster and more effectively.

To improve team performance and help the surgical process run more smoothly, LiveData visual integration technology:

Reinforces Basic Safety Procedures

LiveData OR-Dashboard includes time out and closing windows tailored to meet specific hospital protocols. These features help streamline workflow and save time.

Reduces Setup Time

During OR preparation, key information about the patient and the operation as well surgeon preferences are on LiveData OR-Dashboard for all to see. Clinicians don’t lose time determining what needs to be done or having to correct set-up problems that could have been avoided.

For example, including sterile supply data helps the OR team track equipment faster and more effectively—when the information is most needed, during OR setup.

Helps with OR Scheduling

LiveData OR-Dashboard displays elapsed time and time remaining until the next operation. This helps the team remain aware of the OR schedule and identify when an incipient bottleneck is developing.

Facilitates Communication with Other Departments

LiveData establishes communication links across the hospital. The OR team can, for example, view pathology specimens and results as soon as they are available in the lab; LiveData OR-Dashboard will display the status of equipment trays during OR setup via communication with sterile supplies .

Anyone with permission and a web browser can see the same LiveData OR-Dashboard display as that shown in the OR. This greatly improves communication between the OR and specialists, such as radiologists and pathologists.

Automatically Generates Reports

LiveData case reports accompany patients as they proceed through the preoperative, intraoperative and post-operative phases of surgery. Hand offs run more smoothly, with less likelihood of error.

Facilitates Learning from Experience

With LiveData Historian, clinicians can replay operations in order to analyze the effectiveness of teamwork and develop strategies for improvement.
