The OR-a CAST image and video capturing devices work with any endoscope.  

Capturing images and videos is controlled by the buttons on the endoscope.  Image data is sent automatically to the EMR.  As a result of this process, a flawless video and image capture solution is provided, and the patient medical record is centrally completed.

KARL STORZ GI and Bronchoscopy physician reporting is fully integrated with OR-a Endoscopy Solution.  Gastroenterology, Pulmonology, Otolaryngology, and other departments can use KARL STORZ to link images captured with endoscopes, fluoroscopes, bronchoscopes, and other image capture equipment to their anatomical diagrams in the report. From Storz orders, OR-a creates a 'smart' worklist.  The availability of images immediately allows physicians to process reports.

A software module called Karl Storz has been explicitly developed for endoscopy procedures. It is just one of a variety of integrated modules that have been optimized for use in different clinical specialties. Karl Storz focuses on documenting gastroenterology (GI) and bronchoscopy procedures through structured physician reports.  

What is the purpose of OR-a with KARL STORZ?

Reporting is the primary function of Karl Storz.  Physicians must review and annotate clinical images to create the report, which becomes part of the document. Karl Storz requires a third-party image capture platform to capture and send the images to Storz, where they are then made available.  OR-a provides the needed functionality.  Surgical workflow can be more efficient, collaboration is streamlined, and interoperability enhanced with OR-a Medical's advanced clinical media management platform. 

The OR-a complete clinical media management solution provides immediate, secure, and traceable access to endoscopy images.  Annotating images has never been easier.  Whether you prefer automatic or manual sharing, all clinical media can be shared with EMRs, PACS, and VNAs.   A vendor-neutral platform, OR-a interfaces with all endoscope and bronchoscope brands.

What is OR-a' relationship with Karl Storz?

In generating a procedure worklist from Karl Storz, the OR-a system uses the OR-a system.  The worklist can be filtered by the criteria below to make it easy to locate the patient.

• Patient Name / Number
• Physician
• Room Location
• Procedure Type

It is easy to use the OR-a system.  In order to take still photographs and record video, physicians operate buttons on the scope. OR-a  immediately displays the available images and videos.

The integration of PACS/VNA systems from 3rd parties provides seamless integration

Workflow Streamlining for Endoscopy Physicians: A Case Study

An electronic health record (EHR) with endoscopy physician reporting was implemented in a multi-facility statewide health system to improve population screening and healthcare delivery. The health system needed a single solution to provide an accurate and streamlined process to handle multiple endoscopy video providers.
