Rosenklinik, Swiss Medical Network, Switzerland: Optimizing processes in total joint procedures to increase OR throughput from 8 to 10 surgeries per day
Rosenklinik partnered with DEO.care to streamline OR workflows, increasing throughput from 8 to 10 joint replacement surgeries per day while maintaining high-quality care.
Luzerner Kantonsspital (LUKS), Switzerland: Optimizing OR throughput and efficiency in a complex academic setting
Luzerner Kantonsspital (LUKS) increased OR throughput from three to five hip surgeries per day by standardizing workflows, improving communication, and adopting innovative tools. The result: boosted efficiency, reduced staff stress, and enhanced patient care in a complex academic setting.
Dr. Leirs, Belgium: Optimizing a high throughput OR for robotic-assisted knee surgery
Dr. Geert Leirs optimized his high-throughput OR for robot-assisted knee surgery by reducing process variability, shortening total OR time by 9 minutes per case, and cutting the OR day by 46 minutes. This all while improving ergonomics, teamwork, and care quality.
Mr. Parratt, United Kingdom: Time-neutral integration of robotic-assisted surgery in the NHS
At Colchester Hospital, Mr. Parratt integrated robot-assisted knee surgery without increasing OR time, achieving time-neutrality while reducing instrument tray weight, lowering team workload, and enhancing consistency in the NHS setting.
Dr. Helvie, United States: Scaling a growing practice through flip room optimization
At the Surgery Center of Lynchburg, Dr. Helvie optimized his flip room setup to add up to three extra cases per day while still ending by 3 p.m. This created a scalable, sustainable system to grow his practice without compromising care quality.
Dr. Vanlommel, Belgium: Unleashing the power of data with robotic-assisted surgery for a high throughput OR
Dr. Luc Vanlommel integrated robot-assisted knee surgery without reducing daily throughput. With standardized workflows, parallel processes, and DEO.care’s data-driven insights, his team optimized efficiency, instrument use, and collaboration.
Leveraging data-driven insights for operational excellence
At Watauga Orthopaedics, Director Leann Bradley Foltz partnered with DEO.care to capture hands-off, detailed OR data without disrupting workflows. The insights revealed inefficiencies invisible to manual tracking, enabling smarter decisions, cost savings, and continuous improvement in patient care.
Dr. Ferro, United States: Optimizing OR efficiency with data-driven insights and strategic change management
The Nano Clinic in Arroyo Grande partnered with DEO.care to optimize its OR workflow. Using data-driven insights and process simulations, the team streamlined operations, shortened the OR day by an hour, cut overtime by 50%, and boosted staff satisfaction—all while maintaining patient-centric care.
Professor Corten, Dr. Vanbiervliet, Belgium: Blueprint for a hyperefficient OR for total hip surgery
Rising demand for hip replacements and hospital pressures make OR efficiency critical. Prof. Dr. Corten and Dr. Vanbiervliet show how standardized workflows, optimized teams, and ergonomic tools enable high-volume anterior approach THA, up to 14 procedures a day, while improving outcomes, staff well-being, and costs.
Dr. Leirs, Belgium: Streamlining the OR for robotic-assisted knee surgery
At Noorderhart Hospital in Belgium, Dr. Leirs applied lean principles to robot-assisted knee surgery, eliminating waste, standardizing workflows, and improving team communication. This approach enabled consistent results across rotating nursing teams and increased throughput to six surgeries per day, without compromising quality of care.
Dr. Caprise, United States: Enhancing OR efficiency and reducing costs through targeted tray optimization
At The Surgery Center of Lynchburg, Dr. Peter Caprise reduced hip replacement instrument trays from 8–9 to 5 per case, cutting sterile processing costs by $40,300 annually while streamlining workflows, easing staff workload, and improving sustainability.
Dr. Sekyra, AT: Balancing efficiency and ease in robot assisted surgery
At Herz Jesu Hospital in Vienna, Dr. Sekyra has performed over 700 robot-assisted knee replacements. With DEO.care’s digital twin analysis, her workflow proved just as efficient as conventional surgery while improving precision, ergonomics, and team wellbeing.
Precision in practice: Robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery at Pius Hospital, Oldenburg
At Pius Hospital Oldenburg, robotic-assisted knee surgery delivers precision, efficiency, and education. DEO.care’s digital twin confirmed a streamlined workflow. Five replacements are completed before 2:30 PM, with reduced staff workload and consistent outcomes. Together, these factors set a benchmark for surgical performance.
