From the operating room to data: how information transforms hospital management

Every surgical procedure generates hundreds of data points that, when properly managed, can transform hospital administration. Interlab’s software turns those records into strategic information to enhance efficiency, planning, and safety.

During an average surgical day, a Central Sterilization Unit processes dozens of sets containing hundreds of instruments. Each item must be washed, inspected, packaged, sterilized, stored, and delivered on time. In this complex cycle, digital traceability is the only way to ensure control and transparency.

Interlab’s software records every step of this process with precision. Each time a set is prepared, sterilized, or used, the system automatically generates a record linked to the batch number, patient, professional, and operating room. This information, in addition to ensuring compliance with protocols, becomes a valuable resource for hospital management.

Through detailed reports and analytical dashboards, institutions can detect usage patterns, identify bottlenecks, plan purchases based on evidence, and schedule preventive maintenance. Instead of relying on estimates or perceptions, those in charge of the Central Sterilization Unit, Logistics, or Purchasing have access to concrete, real-time data.

The software also helps reduce indirect costs. More accurate control prevents the loss of instruments, improves set rotation, and decreases unnecessary purchases. In high-volume hospitals, this optimization has a significant economic impact and enhances the sustainability of the system.

Ultimately, Interlab’s software transforms traceability into knowledge. Each record ceases to be just a technical data point and becomes a key element of modern hospital management.
