Star Médica Mérida Upgrades with Cutting-Edge Operating Rooms

Smart operating rooms will increase efficiency, streamline patient access, and improve working conditions through better visualization and technology for superior outcomes.

As part of its ongoing commitment to innovation, Star Médica Mérida has begun a renovation process, starting with its surgical areas and patient rooms. This initiative will enhance patient care, increase safety, deliver better outcomes, and enable more complex procedures.

Mr. Hugo Boehm Calero, Director of Star Médica Mérida, explains that medicine advances every day, generating greater precision and better results, which helps reduce the risks and complications typically associated with surgical procedures.

The integration of smart operating rooms into the facilities at Star Médica Mérida will provide greater comfort and safety for the surgeon, ultimately improving patient safety, minimizing risks, and reducing harm. Star Médica’s smart operating rooms will be multi-specialty, ergonomic, and will feature integrated medical equipment, digital information management, and external connectivity.

The design of the smart operating rooms will unify all necessary elements into a single system to perform procedures across multiple medical specialties with greater accuracy and safety. Ceiling-mounted monitors will allow for free movement, enabling quick and flexible arrangement of equipment during surgery and providing staff with various viewing angles for more ergonomic working positions.
