Digitalization in German hospitals is progressing steadily – currently driven by the Hospital Future Act. Despite all the strategies, however, the institutions are still not taking advantage of all the opportunities and possibilities offered by the various digital technologies. One example is the operating theater. Many hospitals have already digitized the processes surrounding this costly resource – from planning to management inside and outside the auditoriums – but have overlooked training and teaching. Today, students still generally crowd around the operating table. Despite the lack of space, this leads to disruptions for the surgical team or poor visibility for the students.

Rein Medical offers a remedy here, as Product Manager Michael Heuer says: “With the current versions of the OR clients of our SMART OR software, we can provide users with a very flexible integration of various conferencing solutions available on the market for internet-based conference calls. This benefits students and junior staff by allowing lectures and surgeries to be broadcast securely and in real time anywhere in the world via livestream.”

In addition to the integration of conferencing solutions, SMART OR also provides proprietary streaming components for in-house lecture hall broadcasts at the highest level in the LAN, including in high-resolution 4K quality and with minimal signal latency.

“As a manufacturer and system service provider, we offer our customers holistic solutions from a single source. By using coordinated hardware and software components such as OPERION wall systems, CLINIO monitors, SMART OR and the services of our integration experts, we create holistic solutions that impress users,” says Heuer.
