Global Operating Room/OR Integration Market By Type (Hybrid O.R., Integrated O.R., Digital O.R.), By Component (Software, Services), By Application (General Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Cardiovascular Surgery, Neurosurgery, Thoracic Surgery), By End-User, By Region, and Key Companies - Industry Segment Outlook, Market Assessment, Competition Scenario, Trends and Forecast 2021-2031

An OR Integration System is designed to simplify and streamline the OR by consolidating data, access to video, and controls for all of these devices at a central command station, allowing staff to perform many of their tasks efficiently without needing to move around the OR. OR Integration also commonly involves suspending monitors and imaging modalities within the OR, removing trip-hazards caused by cabling and allowing for easy access and visibility through surgical video.

Due to the emergence of advanced diagnostic and imaging technologies for Operating Rooms (also known as an Operation Theater), these rooms are becoming increasingly congested and complex with a multitude of OR devices and monitors. In addition to booms, surgical tables, surgical lighting, and room lighting positioned throughout the OR, multiple surgical displays, communication system monitors, camera systems, image capturing devices, and medical printers are all quickly becoming associated with a modern OR.

The OR is a demanding environment that requires focus, efficiency, communication and sound expertise. Without OR integration, surgical teams must navigate around an OR to perform a variety of tasks. These tasks include checking a computer system for patient information, writing this information on a whiteboard, moving to the wall to control OR lighting, stepping into the surgical field to display or change the video they are viewing, and more.

The movement and time required to complete these tasks slows the completion of a procedure down and detracts needed attention from a patient. OR Integration Systems consolidate and organize all patient data for the surgical staff during a procedure, minimizing congestion and streamlining information across multiple platforms.1 Through OR Integration, surgical staff has centralized access to the controls and information they need – to view patient information, control room or surgical lighting, display images during surgery, and more – all from a centralized control panel. OR Integration enables OR staff to increase productivity and safety levels, as well as improves efficiency, thus allowing them to remain focused on delivering optimal patient care.

Market Dynamics

Market growth for the global operating room/OR integration is driven by the increasing adoption of minimally invasive surgical procedures, technological advancements in various medical devices, as well as redevelopment projects & funding aimed at improving OR infrastructure. The growing prevalence of chronic and life-threatening diseases is subsequently boosting the demand for OR integration systems in various surgical procedures.

The lack of coordination among surgical teams results in an increased frequency of errors in the OR. Avoidable errors in the OR, which usually occur before or after a surgical procedure, have led to adverse effects, which risk patient safety in the process. These errors include communication breakdowns among or within a surgical team, patients, their families and care providers, the delay or failure in diagnosing an underlying condition and delay or failure to administer treatment in a timely manner.

COVID-19 has been designated as a public health emergency of international concern, which has generated a need to manage space, workforce, and provisions in hospitals to provide optimum care to patients. Moreover, several measures have been implemented to prevent in-hospital transmissions.

To cope with the increased influx of COVID-19, respective governments and medical authorities are focusing on setting-up new hospitals and medical facilities with a standard OR designated for the purposes of COVID patient surgeries. These operating rooms are separate from the main OR in order to reduce the risk of contamination. Thus, the demand for operating room integration systems in hospitals has increased as a result of this pandemic.
