Operating Room Dashboards - A Wall of Knowledge Patient Monitoring Dashboard for Surgery

Enterprise Dashboard Tag: Medical Monitoring Dashboard, Operating Room Dashboard.  Update: It’s been months since posting these dashboard shots. Upon reviewing this post, I must say that it is impressive to see this Operating Room Dashboard. Once again, my congratulations to the enterprise dashboard team who built this lifesaving technology.

We’re all big fans of enterprise dashboards, otherwise we wouldn’t be reading The Dashboard Spy. Most of us are seasoned veterans of multiple software projects. We’ve seen our share of both software project failures and successes. While the failure rates were shockingly high in the past, we’ve become more hopeful in recent years of our ability to create applications that are reliable and available. All sorts of techniques exist to ensure quality, suitability to purpose, scalability, etc. So here is today’s million dollar question: Would you be willing to entrust your life to your enterprise dashboard?

In this post, we look at a very interesting enterprise dashboard - the Livedata Operating Room Dashboard. The screenshots below and the operating room pictures are the real thing. They show the use of the OR Dashboard at New York’s prestigious Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The hospital has set up what they call the “Wall of Knowledge” in 21 new operating rooms. These video monitors display live data from operating room systems and patient databases to support the surgical procedures. As you will see from the enterprise dashboard screenshots below, the OR Dashboard is an active tool - the dashboard follows the surgical workflow and displays data relevant to the procedures at hand.

I applaud the dashboard team that created this. It’s no easy task to take on this great responsibility. Let’s take a look at the particular screens to see their work in detail.

Homework: Let’s all stop a minute and think about the quality of our KPIs and Metrics. Obviously, we don’t all deal with life and death data such as these patient dashboards for operating room use, but this case makes clear three things: 1) The quality of the data is paramount. 2) The presentation of the information is critical and 3) The workflow of the underlying processes must drive the dashboard design.
