BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--caresyntax, a pioneer in surgical automation, quality analytics and AI, announced today that it has acquired Syus, a leader in operating room (OR) operations and cost analytics. This acquisition extends caresyntax’s global footprint to more than 7,000 operating rooms, including over 1,100 in the United States, and further enhances the company’s capabilities in AI and the use of real-world evidence with the addition of data from over 9 million surgical cases.

Syus delivers easy-to-use, actionable insights for health systems, medical device vendors and anesthesia groups, as they look for ways to better leverage their OR data and improve overall decision making, efficiency and performance. By combining data from disparate sources, such as electronic health records (EHR), supply chain, HR and other IT systems, in a single and powerful online analytics tool, Syus’ Periop Insight enables clinicians, OR managers, and administrators to access important data, view key performance metrics, and support operational decisions from anywhere, anytime and on any device. Currently present in over 100 hospitals and health systems across the U.S., Syus has helped its partners improve communication, documentation and data transparency; reduce supply costs, delays, idle time and late cases; better manage staffing levels and contract labor; optimize block schedules; and otherwise improve overall operating room efficiency and utilization. Syus’ health system and hospital partners include Catholic Health Initiatives, Universal Health Services, Inova, Saint Thomas Health, Health First, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, OU Medical Center, Gillette Children’s, and select HCA and LifePoint hospitals, along with many others.

caresyntax is working to make mission-critical health care settings such as surgery, interventional radiology and obstetrics smarter and safer. The company’s proprietary solutions leverage IoT, analytics and AI technologies to automate clinical and operational decision support for surgical teams, and support all outcome contributors in the delivery and management of risk-bearing contracts. By integrating data from medical devices, electronic health records, and other sources inside the OR into a unified data platform, caresyntax helps caregivers better identify and manage risk, increase workflow efficiency, reduce surgical variability and improve operational or clinical outcomes at the point of care. By acquiring Syus, caresyntax will substantially expand its product offering for health systems, medical device vendors and insurers, as well as extend its geographic footprint. In addition, Syus will enhance caresyntax’s research and development in AI and Machine Learning for advanced algorithm creation.
