Are we measuring surgical safety checklist use accurately? A recent study compared EMR documentation with OR Black Box® video observations in gynecological surgery and found a notable gap between what is reported and what actually happens in the OR.

While documentation suggested high compliance, video analysis showed:
• Lower overall quality of checklist execution
• Variable team engagement
• Only 80% completion of the Sign-out phase

Most striking, checklist quality was recorded at 89% in the EMR versus 47% when assessed through direct observation.

These findings raise an important question. Do we need a more objective “co-pilot” to ensure safety processes are not only documented, but meaningfully performed?

Bridging the gap between perception and reality is key to advancing patient safety.

How do surgical teams adapt in moments of uncertainty? A study in Annals of Surgery used the OR Black Box® to examine team dynamics during intraoperative adverse events. The findings reveal that adaptation is role-specific:
• Nurses increased backup behaviors
• Surgeons and trainees strengthened psychological safety
• Situation assessment declined across all roles

These insights highlight the complexity of teamwork under pressure and the need for targeted, role-based interventions to support performance when it matters most.

Data-driven visibility into the OR is opening new pathways to improve teamwork, resilience, and patient safety.

At Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, clinical leaders are redefining what patient safety looks like in the OR.

Using the OR Black Box®, the team analyzed real surgical workflows, uncovered predictable sterility challenges that increase contamination risk, and introduced targeted improvements—from video-based training to enhanced communication and refined draping techniques.

The result: a shift from reactive troubleshooting to proactive, data-driven performance improvement that strengthens sterility practices and supports safer care for every patient.

Sunnybrook’s work shows how objective OR insights can reinforce workflows, accelerate quality improvement, and meaningfully reduce risk. We’re proud to see our partners using data to transform surgical care.

Using OR Black Box® data from over 4,500 procedures, a research study published in Surgical Endoscopy found that higher compliance with the surgical safety checklist is associated with:
• Lower mortality
• Shorter hospital stays
• Reduced ICU admissions

Importantly, specific phases of the checklist matter. Strong performance during timeouts and debriefings showed independent associations with improved patient outcomes.

With AI-enabled platforms like the OR Black Box providing objective insights into OR performance, there is a growing opportunity to strengthen teamwork, improve compliance, and ultimately deliver better care.

AI in the operating room is no longer a future concept - it’s already shaping how surgery is performed, evaluated, and improved today.

At the ASMBS Annual Meeting, SST co-founder Dr. Teodor Grantcharov spoke in a session titled “No Longer The Future: AI, Digital Surgery, Machine Learning and Quantum Computing in Today’s OR.”

Rather than exploring what’s next, the session emphasized what is already here:
AI and machine learning embedded in surgical workflows
Digital systems supporting intraoperative decision-making
Emerging computational approaches that will continue to reshape practice

The takeaway was clear: the operating room is already evolving into a more data-driven environment, and the opportunity now lies in how surgeons and health systems adapt, adopt, and operationalize these tools in meaningful ways.

Today marks the first day of National Nurses Week (May 6–12) - an important opportunity to directly recognize what is true but not always said clearly enough: nurses don’t just support care delivery - they are at the center of it.

As healthcare systems face increasing complexity, nurses are navigating higher patient acuity, operational strain, and growing documentation and coordination demands - all while maintaining the highest standards of care.

Supporting nurses means more than appreciation. It means building systems that reduce friction in their day-to-day work, strengthen how care is coordinated, and allow them to focus on what matters most: patients.

This month, and every month, we recognize the critical role nurses play in driving safety, quality, efficiency, and resilience across healthcare systems. Thank you to nurses everywhere for the expertise, judgment, and care you bring to every shift.

Most OR delays aren’t surprises - they’re patterns that are hard to fully connect in real time.

Onsite at @StanfordHealth , we partnered with perioperative leaders for a workshop focused on how AI-driven, ambient technology can drive OR management within existing workflows - not by adding complexity, but by working within it.

The session was anchored in real use cases and a hands-on case study built around a realistic end-of-day OR overrun. Using the SST platform, participants ran an interactive investigation - exploring scheduling accuracy, tracing how delays unfolded across the day, and conducting structured root cause analysis. They then translated those insights into practical ideas for operational improvement.

The takeaway? When OR teams have access to continuous, trustworthy, AI-driven insight, they gain a fundamentally stronger way to manage complexity.

Thank you to the Stanford team for taking the time to deeply engage in this work and explore the power of our platform.

We had the privilege of hosting a networking dinner in Leipzig during the Deutscher Chirurgie Kongress, bringing together a group of forward-thinking surgical leaders and innovators.

The evening created space for meaningful dialogue around surgical improvement, from addressing long-standing blind spots in the OR to exploring how AI can enable more objective, data-driven care.

What stood out most wasn’t just the technology - it was the alignment. A shared belief that the future of surgery will be more transparent, more measurable, and ultimately, safer for patients.
Grateful for the openness, the insights, and the camaraderie among those committed to moving the field forward.

TraumaCon was an energizing few days for the SST team - packed with thoughtful discussions and real-world perspective from the field.

We spent time with trauma clinicians and leaders who are moving beyond the AI hype and zeroing in on practical ways to support care in complex, time-critical situations.

Whether it’s enhancing team alignment, reducing friction in workflows, or making critical insights more accessible in the moment, one thing stood out: innovation in trauma care is being shaped by the people closest to it.

Appreciative of the candor, the curiosity, and the shared drive to push care forward - for patients and the teams behind them.

Two days. Dozens of conversations. One clear takeaway: the future of OR management will be built on visibility, not assumptions.

At the OP Management Kongress in Bremen, we had the opportunity to connect with leading OR leaders and coordinators from across Germany—diving into the real challenges they face every day, from operational blind spots to the growing need for transparency.

In our workshop, “Making the truth visible – is AI in the OR a threat, a tool, or the missing lever for real change?”, Theresia Fuchs led a powerful discussion on our Room State Module, unpacking current pain points in OR management and exploring what it truly takes - both technically and culturally - to adopt AI in a way that drives meaningful change.

The message was consistent: AI isn’t the threat. Lack of insight is.

Grateful to everyone who showed up, shared openly, and challenged perspectives. This is where real progress starts!

The SST team had a great time at the AORN Global Surgical Conference & Expo - and even better conversations.

We connected with perioperative nurses and surgical leaders who aren’t just exploring AI, but actively looking to apply it to improve safety, efficiency, and team performance in the OR.

From reducing variability to strengthening communication and surfacing insights that were previously invisible, it’s clear: nurses are helping lead the next wave of innovation in surgical care.

Grateful for the time, the honesty, and the shared commitment to better outcomes - for both patients and care teams.
