Modern hospitals focus on innovations to maximise efficiency, safety, and hygiene. One particularly pioneering development concerns cleaning operating theatres by introducing "cleaning on demand" with button boards.
Traditional operating room cleaning is often done on a fixed schedule or after each operation. However, this method can be inefficient and lead to longer waiting times between operations. With the use of buttonboards, this process is now significantly optimised.
Buttonboards are intelligent control panels that are placed at strategic locations in the operating theatre. This allows surgeons, nursing staff, and cleaning staff to access them effortlessly. The innovative approach is that cleaning is no longer restricted to fixed time intervals but can be activated as required.
The idea behind "Cleaning on Demand" is simple and effective. After each operation or when required, medical staff can start the cleaning process by simply pressing a button on the button board. This enables quick and targeted cleaning of the relevant areas in the operating theatre without blocking the entire room.
This innovative technology offers several advantages. First, it reduces the waiting time between operations, as cleaning can be done immediately and efficiently. Second, it helps maintain the highest level of hygiene in the operating room, which is crucial for preventing infections. Third, it enables better utilisation of operating theatres, as less time is needed for cleaning breaks.
Integrating cleaning on demand with button boards represents a significant advance in hospital hygiene. This approach increases patient safety and significantly improves operating room workflows. Hospitals that rely on this innovative technology can take a decisive step toward efficiency and patient safety.
