Industry Participation

To ensure a nimble, collaborative, and efficient environment within the ORF project, we invite a limited number of non-competitive companies to participate in this project.

We select our partners based on the following criteria:

• They have current, state-of-the-art technology to contribute to the room now
• They share our vision that a clutter-free, integrated OR environment will improve patient safety and overall efficiencies
• They possess the team spirit critical to co-developing, in concert with other project participants, an open architecture for equipment integration
• They are willing to commit the engineering resources required to achieving the project's goals

As a member of the ORF Project Team, industry participants benefit from involvement in an OR integration effort that aims to set industry standards for improved ergonomics, functionality, and safety. Benefits to collaborating members of the team include:

• The opportunity to contribute to the ORF Project Plan
• Observation and monitoring privileges in the state-of-the-art OR facility
• Expedited access to information on new concepts and approaches to aid in the refinement of existing products and development of new ones
• Assessment of the costs and efficiencies gained through the use of their technology in a real-world OR suite through rigorous outcomes studies
• Networking opportunities with other industry participants, members of the ORF team, and clinicians and engineers from multiple specialties
• Identification as participants in an innovative clinical project at MGH
