ANOTHER FEATURE IS COMPUTERIZED INTEGRATED SURGERY, WHICH IS A SOPHISTICATED PLATFORM THAT ALLOWS PHYSICIANS TO REMOTELY CONNECT THROUGH TELE-SURGICAL TECHNOLOGY TO SPECIALIZED PHYSICIANS DURING SURGERY FOR CONSULTS, ASSISTANCE AND EDUCATION. THE IN-HOUSE SURGICAL TEAM CAN TELE-COMMUNICATE IN REAL TIME THROUGH THE IN-LIGHT CAMERA TO A SPECIALIST TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AT THAT MOMENT, SAVING TIME AND ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL SURGERIES. THE HYBRID OPERATING ROOM IS A SURGICAL THEATER EQUIPPED WITH TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED IMAGING EQUIPMENT USED IN HIGH-INTENSITY PROCEDURES, SUCH AS NEUROSURGERIES, VASCULAR PROCEDURES AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.

UTILIZING OUR HYBRID OR DIRECTLY IMPACTS PATIENT SAFETY, BECAUSE EVERYTHING CAN OCCUR IN ONE ROOM - EMERGENCIES OR COMPLICATIONS CAN BE HANDLED IN ONE SPOT WITHOUT PUTTING A PATIENT'S SAFETY AT RISK TO MOVE TO ANOTHER OPERATING ROOM.
