Surgery
Center
took a bold step forward last year by investing in a 4K surgical video sys-
tem with "fabulous visualization," as administrator Kim Hamma, RN,
puts it. For the multispecialty center's 2 surgeons who have embraced
the system, Ms. Hamma says there's just no turning back now.
"An orthopedic surgeon is the primary user, and he absolutely loves it,"
she says. "I also let one of our general surgeons use it one day, and now I
can't pry it out of his hands. It gives them a much better picture, but in
some respects it's a new toy for them, too."
Just like the TV screens gracing the walls of our living rooms and
bedrooms at home, the surgical displays in our ORs have gotten
increasingly bigger and blessed with amazingly vibrant, life-like
images that give surgeons hyper-realistic views of the surgical field.
These larger-than-life displays and the ultra high-definition visualiza-
tion systems that power them have also gotten much more costly. But
The Golden Age of Surgical Video
With crystal-clear
visualization, mam-
moth screens and
precise diagnostic
tools, surgeons now
have unmatched views
of the surgical field.

better view but can also act as an effective recruitment tool.
