Operation theatre management software. Lists that start on time.
The operating theatre is the most expensive room in a hospital and the one most often idle for reasons nobody recorded. A list that starts forty minutes late, a case cancelled because a consent was missing, an implant opened and never billed — each is small, each repeats weekly, and together they are the difference between a theatre that pays for itself and one that does not.
Theatre in Kōami sits inside the hospital record rather than beside it, so a booking checks every constraint, the checklist is part of the flow, and what was opened during the case reaches the bill.
What is operation theatre management software?
Operation theatre management software schedules surgical cases against the surgeon, the theatre, the anaesthetist and the equipment simultaneously, enforces the pre-operative checklist, records intra-operative and anaesthesia notes, captures implants and consumables at the point of use, and reports theatre utilisation so lists can be planned from evidence rather than habit.
What the system has to do
Booking against every constraint
Surgeon, theatre, anaesthetist, equipment and instrument set checked together, so a booking that cannot happen is refused at the point of booking rather than discovered on the morning.
Safe-surgery checklists
The pre-operative checklist inside the workflow rather than on a separate form, which is what makes it evidence at an accreditation assessment instead of paperwork.
Intra-operative and anaesthesia notes
The operative record and the anaesthesia chart captured in the same patient record the ward and the biller read from.
Implant and consumable capture
What is opened is recorded as it is opened, so it reaches the patient’s bill and deducts from stock rather than being reconstructed from a register afterwards.
Turnaround measurement
First-case start delay and inter-case turnaround measured separately, because they are different problems with different fixes and averaging them hides both.
Utilisation reporting
Theatre time used against time allocated, by surgeon and by session, so list allocation is a conversation about data.
What to test in a theatre demo
Ask for the conflicts and the cancellations. A clean elective list demos the same everywhere.
- Book a case that needs a surgeon, a theatre and a specific instrument set — then double-book one of them.
- Add an emergency case to a full list and show what moves.
- Show the pre-operative checklist blocking a case with a missing consent.
- Record two implants during a case and show them on the patient’s bill.
- Cancel a case and show the reason recorded and reportable.
- Report first-case start delay for last month, by theatre.
- Report utilisation by surgeon against allocated session time.
- Show the anaesthesia record inside the same patient chart as the ward notes.
