Scheduled is not always ready
Surgical cases may appear scheduled while readiness channels remain incomplete.
Stakeholder explainer
A clean, non-production overview of the Aetheris perioperative workflow companion layer for hospital stakeholders.
Short explanation
Aetheris is a perioperative workflow companion layer. It does not replace HIS, EMR, or CARE. It helps structure surgical case readiness, OT coordination, anaesthesia review, pre-op checklist, inventory and admin visibility, AI draft review, and audit evidence.
Aetheris links readiness channels without collapsing clinical, operational, and administrative responsibility into one generic status.
Problem statement
Surgical cases may appear scheduled while readiness channels remain incomplete.
Surgeons, anaesthesia, OT, pre-op, stores, billing/admin, and quality teams need shared visibility.
Postponements, missing information, blockers, and handoffs are difficult to track without structured evidence.
Current POC
Under the hood
Patient, encounter, facility, location, role, request, product, and questionnaire context are represented with synthetic CARE-like data.
Aetheris owns the perioperative surgical case workflow and case-specific readiness coordination.
Anaesthesia, checklist, inventory, admin, OT operations, and AI review are visible as separate but linked channels.
AI may support draft summaries or missing-item prompts, but only as reviewable draft assistance.
Authorized hospital roles retain clinical and operational responsibility for decisions and sign-offs.
Workflow events, role ownership, timestamps, source labels, and review states support quality and leadership review.
Workflow stages
Role responsibility
Posts the case and reviews surgical summary drafts.
Records anaesthesia readiness and reviews anaesthesia drafts.
Reviews completeness, coordinates slots, and confirms OT readiness.
Completes checklist items and escalates preparation blockers.
Confirms equipment, consumables, substitutes, and item blockers.
Shows basic admin or insurance visibility without full billing scope.
Reviews evidence, role ownership, timestamps, and status changes.
Needs readiness, delay, postponement, throughput, and quality visibility.
Open Health Network / CARE status
The current POC has no live CARE or Open Health Network runtime integration. It does not call CARE APIs or connect to production systems.
Responsibility split
| Layer | May provide or own | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| HIS / CARE / Open Health Network | Patient, encounter, facility, location, user/role, and core hospital context. | Current POC uses mock context only. Runtime behavior is not validated. |
| Aetheris | Surgical case workflow, readiness channels, OT coordination, AI draft review, and audit evidence. | Aetheris-owned objects remain separate from CARE context. |
| AI | Draft assistance for summaries, prompts, handoffs, and audit evidence preparation. | Draft-only. No autonomous clinical or operational decisions. |
| Human hospital roles | Clinical and operational responsibility, review, sign-off, escalation, and final action. | Surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses, OT managers, and authorized teams retain responsibility. |
