Case study: OPERA
Case study: OPERA Description Increasing efficiency and reducing wait times with software Opera streamlines the entire surgical workflow, from scheduling procedures to patient recovery, by tracking patients and resources in real time to prevent delays or conflicts. The system also captures critical clinical data to centralize documentation, ensuring a seamless and efficient process. It achieves this through AI-driven planning, optimizing OR capacity with real-time updates and point-of-care recording to keep teams informed. Custom checklists and shared status updates reduce communication gaps. Material use is tracked in real time, and performance, capacity, and cost data are analyzed to maximize OR efficiency. By improving scheduling and tracking, Opera minimizes delays and cancellations, ultimately enhancing patient care. Centralized documentation reduces errors and simplifies compliance, while better coordination boosts team productivity.

Case study: Digital triage and chat
Case study: Digital triage and chat Description Digital tool/communication path for patients to increase accessibility. This case study examines the implementation of digital triage in Västmanland’s primary care system to streamline patient access to appropriate healthcare services. The digital triage system directs patients to self-care advice, primary care, or, in urgent cases, emergency services (112). By sorting the queue based on urgency, the tool helps healthcare personnel prioritize critical cases efficiently. The digital triage is accessible via a web application or a downloadable app, allowing patients to initiate voice or video calls and upload images for assessment. To ensure security and patient privacy, two-factor authentication is required. This system enhances patient guidance while optimizing healthcare workflow.

Case study: Speech recognition
Case study: Speech recognition Description Enables patient records entries to be generated directly from speech. There are also possibilities for voice-controlled commands of the type “create new referral/new note”, autotexts and custom glossaries. A user can also build more advanced commands. Autotexts, words that’s not in the glossary, and all commands can be shared with other users. The product is integrated with our patient record system but can also be used in other systems, for example Word and Outlook. The technology is used daily.

Case study: LightControl, quality control of rigid endoscopes
Case study: LightControl, quality control of rigid endoscopes Description Endoscopes are reused due to their high cost, but detecting damage is challenging. Traditional inspection relies on visual assessment (qualitative), while LightControl offers a more precise, quantitative approach. However, OR personnel may overlook damage detection results when they urgently need an endoscope and can still “look through it.” Possible interventions include displaying measurement results as smiley icons on sterile packaging (e.g., lenses 60%, fibers 30%) and integrating LightControl with the hospital information system for better tray management. These measures aim to enhance endoscope monitoring, ensuring safer and more reliable use in surgeries.
