ControlOR changes a typical surgery

How does ControlOR accomplish this? First, ControlOR provides you and the OR staff simultaneous access to and interaction with multiple data sources for a comprehensive patient view. Instead of being dependent on OR staff to display and manipulate data during a case, you are now able to easily interact with video sources, imaging applications, EMR, and the like. The valuable seconds and minutes wasted trying to make someone else in the room understand what it is exactly you desire to see during your case is eliminated by ControlOR. And that is just the beginning of ControlOR's capabilities.

ControlOR includes Banyan's Surgeon View technology which offers the utmost in collaboration.  With Surgeon View, a consulting physician can be granted full access to information just as he or she were standing next to you in the sterile field without leaving his or her workspace. Operating physicians can leverage the expertise of a colleague in seconds through ControlOR. This inherently decreases infection risk, scrub time, and saves the hospital valuable OR time.

ControlOR also offers you the ability to interact with private practice or office-based applications in addition to hospital based applications. For example, if there is an office-based documentation system that you routinely enter data into for outcomes, measurement, billing and so on, that system can be accessed during surgery.

In summary, ControlOR offers a simplistic user interface with a short learning curve that delivers levels of efficiencies that until now, were unattainable. These efficiencies directly reduce anesthesia time (therefore, OR time and procedure costs), increase collaborative expertise for better outcomes, and places surgeons in control of information.
