Operating rooms are among the most demanding and complex areas of a hospital. This is not just because of the interdisciplinary work flows and the high hygiene and infection prevention requirements in a surgery, but also because the flows of patients, staff and material from sterile and contaminated environments meet in an operating room.
Operating rooms are highly equipped areas with electricity, video and data lines, medical gases and sometimes also special ventilation systems. Moreover, innovative surgical methods and the advances in medical technology result in constantly changing requirements with regard to work processes and room concepts, as well as cost efficiency aspects.
