Intuitive scheduling with resource and conflict checking
Technology that improves patient care
Torin comes with an intuitive and user-friendly interface for day-to-day and long-term scheduling. The solution offers customizable booking templates for fast and smooth surgery planning and allows OR managers to reserve operating rooms, equipment and instruments needed for a specific surgery and assigns preferred staff for the day.
In case of delays, emergencies and other deviations, Torin enables OR managers to quickly postpone or prolong a surgery, automatically shifting all subsequent appointments to a later start time. The solution automatically checks for potential conflicts to avoid incoherencies and gaps, ensuring a more cost-effective and structured surgery plan.
Complete data capture and documentation
Intuitive, efficient integration for your OR
Torin offers data capture and process documentation through registration of each step in the surgical patient journey. A customizable checklist ensures that all pre-, peri- and post-operative activities are carried out in due time, time-stamped and added to the surgical record for later review. In addition, the solution supports integration of diagnostic and procedural codes to support a standardized and safe environment. The continued registration allows you to follow the patient through their appointments and ensure that they are always in the right place at the right time.
Real-time surgery progress updates
Full OR integration with your hospital IT systems
Torin provides OR managers and surgical staff with visual, color-coded overviews of the short-term surgical plan for fast identification of ongoing and future procedures in each operating room. As the surgeries progress, status changes from inside the operating room are shared in real-time across all relevant screens, allowing the OR manager to adjust subsequent surgeries accordingly.
Complete data reporting and analytical Business Intelligence
Manage your OR equipment simply and efficiently
Torin provides hospital and department managers with a unique analytics tool for monitoring, obtaining, and documenting predefined targets for further processing and analysis. As a result, the analytics part of the solution provides a high degree of decision support through capacity forecasts and business intelligence, revealing potential planning gaps, inefficiencies and thus improvement areas to be considered in the future.
Key performance indicators can be defined and displayed on screens in the department or visualized in reports, depicting the daily, weekly, monthly or yearly performance and flow in and across departments. Data stems from the continuous use of Torin, as every registration or status change adds to the overall picture of how the surgical flow is managed and executed.
Integration to T-DOC and Tegris
Enable optimized remote training and teaching with live streaming
Torin is unique in offering integration to Getinge’s sterile supply management and OR integration solutions for a fully organized perioperative flow.
With Torin, central sterile supply departments using T-DOC gain access to updates of the surgery schedule for better planning of the instrument flow. The integration also allows OR managers to order and perform live availability checks of surgical instruments, when managing the surgery plan, and identifying potential problems in due time.
This enables you to adjust according to preferences, load and availabilities and keep the surgery schedule on time. The integration to the Tegris OR integration solution allows OR staff to display the daily and future surgery plan on any screen within the operating room during the surgery.
