Abstract

[Technology for a safer and less complex system in surgery]

The surgical patients’ path in the operating block is characterised by the transition through different rooms and by the management by several workers of the medical staff. The number of required steps may affect the efficiency of the system, and new engineering methods are underway in order to improve the overall management of surgical interventions. The case of the hospital of Forlì is here analysed: the introduction of a technological system, involving a personal digital assistant, is here described, together with the outcomes obtained by means of this tool. Of paramount importance are the results obtained, i.e. the reduction of the unscheduled interventions, the decrease in the overtime work, and the zeroing of the major mistakes.
