Chancellor Merkel was able to experience the KARL STORZ innovation potential first hand. In particular, the Chancellor was introduced to the integrated operating room OR1™. The system’s advantages in terms of improved workflows for surgeons, increased patient safety, and optimal resource use in the operating suite were highlighted. The tour also briefly touched on the current debate about the increasing importance of efficiency and economy, in addition to surgical outcomes, to the success of hospitals worldwide.
