Tetra is an operating theatre booking platform that helps organisations produce optimal elective session lists that theatre teams trust, powered by AI.
Tetra outperforms OPCS code-based methods in predicting procedure times, significantly minimising the risk of both over- and underruns.
Tetra's built-in booking logic simplifies the chaos of managing a constantly changing waiting list. It intelligently suggests the most suitable patients for each session, based on the rules you define.
By making the most of every session, Tetra helps improve in-session utilisation beyond standard scheduling methods, reducing downtime and maximising theatre efficiency.
Need to cancel last minute and refill a slot? With Tetra's intuitive click-button interface, you can instantly find patients to fill last-minute cancellations—no more wasted hours searching.
By taking into account equipment constraints, pre-op limitations and clinical priority, Tetra avoids costly cancellations caused by booking errors, with the ability to add custom rules tailored to what works for you. By considering how your specialty works, it can suggest appropriate patients to fill slots lightning-fast.
Tetra collates and combines data from disparate clinical systems, so you can book with confidence with all the information you need at your fingertips. Tetra uses data that is produced by all modern PAS, EPR and Theatre Management systems, with full integration possible.
Users access Tetra through their browser, with no limit to the number of users that can be added. We enforce encryption and strict access controls, and comply with all industry standards. We also use end-to-end encryption, and never store direct patient identifiers on our servers.
Our large language model (LLM), fine-tuned for surgical settings, reliably reads surgical free text to understand the procedure being planned. It categorises the procedure using a custom ontology that captures more detail and nuance than OPCS codes.
By analysing your hospital's performance data, Tetra predicts the time a procedure will take with its advanced statistical model, incorporating nuances for different surgeons, theatre teams, complexity and more. Using a machine learning model, Tetra improves over time to get more accurate the more its used.
Tetra uses a smart-algorithm to suggest which session cases should be booked into to optimise utilisation, reduce over/underruns and minimise cancellations. It accounts for equipment clashes and other real world constraints automatically, using rules set by you. When slots become available, it scans the entire waiting list to find suitable procedures to book in real-time.
Tetra is a theatre scheduling platform that helps waiting list coordinators and booking teams book elective procedures. Tetra is accessed via a web browser and pulls data from your theatre management system and PAS/EPR to work out the best possible sessions to run. Users use Tetra to book directly patients into theatre lists, and are provided with suggestions on the best procedures to book, powered by AI.
Tetra integrates with, and works alongside, existing systems. By ingesting waiting list and clinical data from your EPR/PAS, Tetra provides users booking advice to create optimal theatre lists. Users can book surgeries using Tetra, and this can feed into the theatre management system.
Set up typically consists of 3 phases: information governance & data flow setup, model configuration & system integration, and user validation & UAT. At all stages, we have robust templates, documentation and resources that help speed things along with deployments in some cases taking under 4 weeks.
No. No provider has perfect data quality. Our expert team will work closely with you to understand your limitations and build in accomodations, whether you are paper-based, do lots of manual entry, or struggle with RTT. Tetra can also highlight data quality issues, which can help teams locate and address gaps.
Security is our top priority and we go above and beyond what regulation requires of us. Tetra uses end-to-end encryption, secure, UK-based data centres, and regular security audits to ensure your data is protected at all times. We apply role-based, and user based access controls to strictly manage permissions. We have cyber essentials certification and are both DTAC & DSPT compliant.
The price of Tetra varies with the number of theatres you have and the volume of surgery being performed, with the price per theatre reducing significantly with increased volumes. At all levels, Tetra only requires a modest improvement in efficiency to provide a significant return on investment. Contact us to get an estimate.
Tetra can benefit every elective specialty by providing a faster, easier workflow for booking surgery. The AI & statistical models that power Tetra are specialty-agnostic and can provide optimisations regardless of the field. Our methodology works best with high-volume specialties, and those with dynamic procedure lengths like orthopaedics, urology or general surgery.
