Description
Hospital Operating Theatre (OT) scheduling involves an arrangement of several operating rooms to the medical surgeons in a period of time. In the health service sector the scheduling of Operating Theatre plays an important role towards achieving their goals. Their main goal is to meet the patient’s satisfaction by minimizing their total waiting time before undergoing major or minor operations. Poor scheduling of Operating Theatre may cause longer waiting time and can also worsen the patient’s disease. In this case, an effective schedule has to be created and maintained by the hospital. Another objective is to maximize the surgical activity in the hospital of Amman given the nature of the hospital and the mission on which it is running.
Operation Theatre module comes out of box with Bahmni installation.
Prerequisite:
To use OT module in any specific implementation, We need to configure at least one location as operation theatre
Steps to add a operation theatre location:
- Go to Openmrs → Administration → Manage locations
- Add a new location or tag existing location as "Operation Theater". This tag comes with Bahmni installation
- Its a good practice to organise locations inline with hospital setups. For example, you may want to have an 'Operation Theater' organised within a location representing a department. For more information around locations and relevance to Bahmni please see "Visit Location"
