For Hospital Executives

Your Highest-Revenue Department Is Your Least-Measured. Until Now.

The operating room drives ~60% of hospital margins (Corazon Inc. 2023). Theator delivers the intelligence layer that lets you measure, standardize, and accurately monetize surgical performance across your entire enterprise.

Surgery is high-stakes, high-variance, and high-cost—yet historically unmeasured. The OR is healthcare's last major transparency silo. Think PACS for imaging. The EHR for clinical data. Surgical intelligence is the equivalent for the operating room: an infrastructure layer where documentation is the entry point, quality and safety are the platform, and the data gets more valuable with every procedure and every site. Infrastructure, not a feature.

Enterprise Value Drivers

Surgical Documentation

Impact

AI-generated operative reports eliminate surgeon documentation burden. Delivered in seconds.

Measured By

  • • Documentation time reduction
  • • Report accuracy
  • • Surgeon satisfaction

Deployment Model

Software-centric

Software-centric:

Weeks to deploy. No new hardware stack. No IT burden. Works with existing laparoscopic and robotic infrastructure. Visualization-system agnostic.

EHR integration

EHR integration

Embedded within Epic and Oracle Health. Patient-specific operative reports flow directly into the patient record.

Specialty coverage

Specialty coverage

9 surgical specialties and 180+ procedure types supported today—general surgery, colorectal, bariatric, urology, gynecology, thoracic, ophthalmology, ENT, and gastroenterology—with the list growing continuously.

Technical Architecture & Security

Software-centric, fully managed cloud architecture.

Theator's video integration units connect to existing laparoscopic and robotic video systems via DVI, SDI, or HDMI. De-identified video is transmitted through a secure VPN tunnel to Theator's HITRUST-certified cloud environment, where AI analysis, storage, and intelligence delivery are fully managed. No infrastructure modifications required. No hospital IT burden—Theator handles all storage, security, and scalability. All-inclusive subscription with no additional charges for storage, or hardware.

EHR-embedded delivery.

Operative reports surface directly within Epic and Oracle Health. No separate portal. No new login. Clinicians and RCM work within their existing EHR workflow.

Visualization-system agnostic.

Theator integrates with your existing laparoscopic and robotic camera systems—regardless of manufacturer. No proprietary hardware lock-in.
