QCare OR optimizes and organizes the complete Operative Process: the planning of the availabilities, the planning and registration of resources and time stamping of all events is managed until the patient’s departure to the nursing wards.

The planning of an intervention is done in two steps. Through QCare OR or a link to a hospital wide appointment system, a capacity planning is created. The available OR times that were allocated to the different disciplines & doctors are filled in.

Human resources : The critical resources linked to the protocol were already booked during the preliminary planning. For the definitive planning, the non critical resources will be added. QCare OR therefore has the possibility to add resources to one procedure or to one or more operating theatres.

The peri-operative process starts from the worklists. Per room, physician and critical resource, on-line overviews can be generated.

Once the patient is present in the Operating Theatre, the following items can be registered.

After the intervention all the patients data will be put at the disposal of the wakeup, recovery and/or ICU unit. From this moment onwards, the patient will be followed medically and paramedically using QCare ICU.

The OR report (excl. anaesthetic report) is generated using templates. The physicians can choose between manually filling in the templates and/or dictation.

The physician and anaesthetist check the used materials and financial codes. Using the country dependent settings, different nomenclature sets are loaded (both for financial codes and clinical codes).
