MONITORING AND ENFORCING INFECTION SAFETY PROCEDURES IN OPERATING ROOMS

摘要

An operating room monitoring system (ORMS) may be uniquely configured for a particular operating room in order to provide custom monitoring and responses based on the unique characteristics of that operating room. The ORMS includes a sensor array of individual sensors placed around the operating room in positions determined by the type of sensor and the unique characteristics of the operating room. Data from the sensor array is collected and analyzed using an infection-reduction protocol. Analyzed data may include images and video, proximity data, airflow data, and climate data, for example. Protocol violations may result in tailored responses such as automatic adjustment of HVAC equipment, or generalized responses such as room-level visual or audible alerts. A dashboard interface may be displayed on various devices that provides sensor data, environmental quality data, risk picturing, and other information usable to mitigate infection risks.
