OPROOM LOGISTICS
In the healthcare sector, where every action counts and every second is precious, optimising processes is a major strategic challenge. In the operating theatre, managing medical equipment is crucial to ensuring that operations run smoothly and avoiding any risk of stock shortages.
It is to address these issues that Evolucare has developed a logistics module within its OpRoom software.
With this integrated solution, healthcare establishments now have a simple, intuitive and connected tool that facilitates the work of the logistics and surgical teams, while optimising the availability of equipment essential for operations.
An urgent need for optimisation of the logistics in operating theatres
In a hospital, preparing for a surgical procedure involves more than just the presence of medical staff and the positioning of the patient. It also requires the meticulous management of the medical devices (MDs, SMRs, IMDs), surgical instruments and consumables needed for the procedure.
In response to these challenges, Evolucare has developed its Logistics module, complementing its operating theatre management platform Save OpRoom. This module has a mobile interface and ensures perfect synchronisation between logistics and procedure planning.
OpRoom Logistics: a comprehensive and integrated solution
Designed to work on Android with a Wi-Fi connection, the OpRoom Logistics application stands out for its intuitive ergonomics, which guarantees that hospital teams can use it immediately.
💡 The key features of OpRoom Logistics:
- Stock entry and real-time monitoring: automatic registration of medical devices and instant stock updates.
- Preparation of trolleys and bins for procedures: simplified preparation of equipment before each operation.
- Inventory and storage area management: optimised visibility of available stock and its location.
- Integration with operational planning: anticipating equipment needs based on the programme of interventions.
- Compatibility with Android handhelds: intuitive use of scanning to save time and increase reliability.
Thanks to this approach, Evolucare offers a unique solution on the market that goes beyond simple stock management by directly integrating logistics into surgical planning.
A competitive advantage
Unlike existing solutions, which are often limited to purely logistical management, OpRoom Logistics draws on the full infrastructure of OpRoom to offer a comprehensive and unified view of the organisation of the operating theatre.
This complementary nature offers several major benefits to healthcare establishments:
✅ Reduced risk of stock shortages: thanks to precise, real-time monitoring of equipment.
✅ Time savings for medical teams: IBODEs and logisticians can focus on their core business.
✅ Improved care coordination: better sharing of information between departments.
✅ Optimisation of costs: reduction of equipment losses and unnecessary orders.
For Jean Verstraeten, this technological advance is an essential step in the digitisation of the operating theatre:
“We didn’t just develop a simple management tool. We designed a solution that integrates fully with the workflows of the establishments, providing real added value to all the teams involved.’
A promising first deployment at Imelda Ziekenhuis Bonheiden
The application was deployed for the first time in mid-May 2025 at the Belgian hospital Imelda Ziekenhuis Bonheiden, an establishment recognised for its commitment to medical innovation.
This first full-scale deployment is a unique opportunity to validate the effectiveness of OpRoom Logistics in a real hospital environment and to further refine the user experience before a general launch.
‘Imelda Hospital was looking for an intuitive solution that would integrate perfectly with its existing processes. We are convinced that OpRoom Logistics will bring them a new dynamic and considerably optimise their operating theatre management,’ says Jean Verstraeten.
Towards the complete digitisation of the operating theatre
With OpRoom Logistics, Evolucare is confirming its expertise in the digital transformation of healthcare establishments and pursuing its commitment to developing solutions that meet the real needs of healthcare professionals.
The application is part of a broader vision of digitising the operating theatre, aiming to streamline all processes, from the planning of operations to the post-operative management of equipment and stocks.
