OPERATING THEATRES AND CRITICAL CARE
all the way through to feasibility studies, schematics, consultations, and the final transformation into reality – no matter what the job size’.
Under the spotlight
Moving from the consult side of the business to the product side, AHS has what Nick Jackson and Russell Skea describe as ‘a carefully selected and comprehensive portfolio that showcases the very latest in premium manufacturing’. Nick Jackson explained: “As the partner of choice for Trumpf Medical, AHS offers the company’s range of iLED and TruLight LED operating theatre lights, TruPort surgical pendants, and 7000 series operating tables. Trumpf Medical is a world-leading, innovative leader in medical technology. Its range of products is renowned globally, and, following our own performance tests, we believe that they are the best available. Take, for example, the iLED surgical lights – these have been expertly designed to provide improved airflow over the surgical site, a rare sensor- controlled system, and a securely encrypted wireless camera. Drawing on the same high quality light performance, the Trumpf TruLight range achieves leading efficiencies, and is suitable for the entire operating spectrum – from emergency rooms, trauma, and ambulatory centres, to intensive care units. “Light performance has historically been overlooked. However, over the last decade the importance and significance of theatre lighting has become a ‘hot’ topic. Trumpf has led the way in innovative optical light design, offering solutions that come with colour temperature adjustment, sterile and adaptive light control, and camera integration.”
Patient outcome at the core Russell Skea noted: “Managing patient outcome and flow is one of the industry’s top priorities. Addressing the issues that surround this topic also supports initiatives to improve efficiency and reduce costs. As a subject that affects the entire healthcare chain, it is essential for all organisations
and departments to collaborate, share assessments and interventions, and deliver effective and responsive patient care. In essence the industry needs to be aligned. “ Nick Jackson added: “It is no secret that the medical sector relies heavily on humans for skill, accuracy, and emotion, to address patient outcome. The personnel involved are ultimately responsible for the quality of patient safety and the efficiency of procedures and processes. However, in recent years there have been an increasing number of technological tools that have been introduced to the market. Many of the technology advances have focused on analytics, and we know of one highly capable system that can understand the acuity of patients, significantly improve patient outcomes, and reduce surgical variability – in our view a medical marvel in the form of a data-driven integration and performance management tool. The system itself,” he continued, “is essentially a piece of intelligent software that captures the full spectrum of surgical data from inside the operating theatre. It then centralises this data over a single IP network infrastructure. This level of data and analytics optimises workflow, reduces error, and increases surgical quality.”
Nick Jackson and Russ Skea believe they ‘really understand the different needs of the clinical personnel, the Estates Team, the Project team, the main contractor, and the architects’.
OR integration and analytics platform Russell Skea elaborated: “AHS has been fortunate enough to team up with CareSyntax – the architects of this state- of-the-art OR integration and analytics platform. The interface is more intuitive than any other comparable system. We believe it will truly raise the surgical performance bar through the empowerment of clinicians – equipping them with high-level analytics that enable
