Dr. Glenn Harper, chief of surgery for Ascension Seton Williamson in Round Rock, is no stranger to complex surgical procedures. As a neurosurgeon, his work demands precision. A new piece of technology—the Medtronic O-arm—introduced at the hospital just months ago increases the safety margin for patients, Harper said. By creating three-dimensional images of a patient’s spine during the surgical procedure, the technology provides an extra layer of visualization to guide his work. “It’s incredible,” Harper said. “The technology has precision you wouldn’t believe.” The Medtronic O-arm is just one example of high-tech health care in Round Rock and Pflugerville hospitals. Leveraging technology can enable physicians to be more efficient in the way they deliver care, said Aaron Miri, chief information officer with Dell Medical School. “Medicine has come a very long way with technology,” Miri said. “But a piece of tech alone is not going to solve the world’s problems. When it comes to health care, what will solve problems is making a patient better fast and making the clinician smarter and more efficient.”
