Case Study: Catholic Hospitals Rhein-Ruhr achieves future-ready OR integration and improved patient care with Barco Nexxis

Nexxis brings increased flexibility and improved patient care to the OR at St. Elisabeth Group – Catholic Hospitals Rhein-Ruhr

St. Elisabeth Group – Catholic Hospitals Rhein-Ruhr, a major hospital group in Germany, faced a challenge with technically outdated operating rooms. Their existing infrastructure could not support the high bandwidth required for modern 4K imaging and was not future-proof for upcoming technologies, hindering surgical diagnostics and patient care. They chose to implement the Nexxis uncompressed AV-over-IP platform from Barco to create a new, scalable foundation for their 35 ORs.

Barco's Nexxis solution provided a vendor-neutral, IP-based system that seamlessly integrated all devices and modalities with ultra-low latency. This offered the hospital unparalleled flexibility, allowing for plug-and-play connectivity of equipment and the live sharing of images between ORs and other hospital sites. The results included optimized OR capacity utilization, faster changeover processes, and improved patient treatment through better peer consultation.
