In order to improve the safety and the efficiency in the Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) surgery. This research indicated three projects focusing on solutions of gathering and integrating medical data generated by the different machines and team members. Based on the observation of CABG surgeries, interviews with surgical members and meetings of new operating room design discussing criteria comparison, Project A introduced a new Operating Room design with a 75-inch nonmedical display showing medical data for better information sharing during surgeries. This solution was evidenced effective and will be implemented in the new operating room in practice. Project B simulated an auto-checklist of CABG surgery procedure to make sure every surgical team member aware of current situation during surgeries. Steps of surgeries and trigger of each step were determined with the assistance of cooperating surgical members. After negotiation and obtaining the consent of patients, medical information shown in EPD-Vision during their surgeries were allowed to be used. Then, necessary data from patients was obtained and processed by a MATLAB program. This simulation program uses the obtained data to detect automatically items of the checklist. As a result, times of the items of the checklist determined by the program were mostly comparable to the times written down by the assistant. In some cases, there was a time delay due to manual input by assistants. Hence, the project still has limitations to implement a completely automatic checklist.Project C is an APP design on a concept to remind related members of going back to the operating room quickly. Though it is on paper, most of surgical members showed positive attitude to this design.In conclusion, the integration of medical data from different medical instruments is a promising topic for further research.
