Operation Theater
Maximise OT utilisation with smart scheduling — book theatres efficiently, avoid clashes.
What is Operation Theater?
The Operation Theater module manages bookings and utilisation of your surgical suites. Reserve theatres in advance for planned surgeries, avoid scheduling conflicts and get a clear, real-time view of what is happening in every OT throughout the day.
By tracking utilisation rates you can identify idle time, balance surgical load across multiple theatres and increase throughput without adding costly new infrastructure. The daily OT roster shows every surgery, its team and its allocated theatre at a glance.
Advance booking allows surgeons and departments to reserve theatre time weeks ahead, while emergency slots can be held open for urgent cases. The system prevents double-booking and sends alerts when scheduling conflicts are detected.
Key Features
Everything Operation Theater brings to your hospital to streamline operations and improve patient care.
OT Booking
Reserve operation theatres against specific surgeries and time slots. Block bookings can be made weeks in advance for planned procedures.
Surgical Suite Scheduling
Visual schedule of every theatre showing booked surgeries, times and teams. Colour-coded for quick identification of elective vs emergency cases.
Advance OT Reservation
Block theatres ahead of time for planned procedures. Departments can reserve recurring time slots (e.g., orthopaedics every Monday and Thursday).
OT Roster
Daily roster of all surgeries, surgical teams and allocated theatres. Printable for display in the OT changing room and nursing station.
OT Utilisation Reports
Reports showing utilisation percentage per theatre, idle time, turnaround time between cases and peak usage hours. Data-driven capacity planning.
Emergency Slot Management
Reserve emergency slots in each theatre's schedule. Emergency surgeries are accommodated without disrupting elective bookings.
Conflict Detection
Automatic detection of scheduling conflicts — same theatre double-booked, surgeon double-booked across theatres, or insufficient turnaround time.
Use Cases
See how healthcare providers use Operation Theater in practice.
Multi-Theatre Hospital
A hospital with 5 OTs increased weekly surgeries from 80 to 120 by improving scheduling efficiency. Utilisation reports showed mid-afternoon idle time was the biggest opportunity.
Surgical Department
A cardiothoracic surgery department reserves Monday-Wednesday-Friday for complex cases and Tuesday-Thursday for minor procedures. Advance booking ensures their preferred slots are never taken by other departments.
