Challenge:
The Iris-Sud Hospital Group, which includes four Brussels locations (Joseph Bracops, Molière Longchamp, Etterbeek-Ixelles, and Baron Lambert), sought a solution to harmonise operating room schedules, improve efficiency, and standardise operational management across its multiple sites.
Solution:
With Aexis XLine (SteriLine & ORLine), the hospital group implemented data-driven decision-making tools, harmonised OR schedules, and standardised operational procedures, improving efficiency and coordination across all four locations.
Results:
- Improved OR efficiency through harmonised schedules and better operational control
- Standardised operational procedures, leading to clearer management and transparency
- Enhanced collaboration between surgeons, administrative staff, and secretaries through training initiatives
- Smooth go-live across four locations simultaneously, ensuring a seamless transition
Testimonial:
“We now have the right data to improve the efficiency of our operating rooms at all times across the 4 sites. The XLine application from Aexis Medical offers numerous advantages. Using data, it is possible to thoroughly discuss and review organisational aspects within operating rooms: harmonising certain schedules, proper management and control, and so on. Furthermore, this has led to a revision of the names of operations, their duration and operational timetable. We were also able to introduce much stricter and more transparent rules and guidelines for the operational management of the venues.
A final aspect, a completely unexpected advantage: during the training that we provided simultaneously to surgeons, secretariat staff, and administrative managers, meetings took place between the teams. This helped to gain a better understanding of the professions and implications (which were sometimes unknown) of everyone in the operating room organisation. In addition, we were able to put faces on people who previously only had contact via email or telephone. Any opportunity to build relationships is valuable, and ORLine has made this possible.
A smooth go-live on 4 sites at the same time! On the day of implementation, we launched the software at the same time in our four operating quarters, which was a challenge in itself. We were prepared for a stressful and difficult day, but that was not the case at all. Everyone understood their role and the impact of their work, and everything went smoothly. It was a valuable experience that will help us implement future projects.”– Margaux Vachiery, Coordinator for Operation Quarters, Iris-Sud Hospital Group
