For decades, the airline industry has benefited from so-called black boxes, which record flight data and cockpit conversations. The collected information allows airlines to boost safety by predicting and mitigating risks.
Now, similar technology is moving into another high-stakes arena: the operating room. The new technology, called OR Black Box, has been installed in four operating rooms at Stanford Hospital — the first on the West Coast — with plans to expand to several more rooms.
Teodor Grantcharov, PhD, is the inventor of the Operating Room Black Box and professor of surgery at Stanford Medicine. He is also associate chief medical officer for Stanford Health Care.
Mary Hawn, MD, is a professor of surgery and chair of the Department of Surgery at Stanford Medicine. Her projects focus on quality measurement and policy in surgical populations.
