Optimizing Your OR Workflow with GPS® Computer Navigation

This study analyzes over 40,000 shoulder replacement surgeries using GPS navigation to assess its impact on surgical time. Findings reveal that navigation and registration times are minimal, especially for high-volume surgeons, with efficiency improving significantly after a learning curve. The research addresses concerns about increased operative time, demonstrating the technology’s minimal workflow impact and substantial long-term benefits.
