operating room efficiency

Operating room efficiency refers to how effectively surgical facilities use their resources—such as time, staff, and equipment—to perform procedures. It aims to maximize patient care quality while minimizing delays, cancellations, and costs. Efficient operations ensure surgeries start on time, reduce waiting periods, and make good use of available space and personnel. This balance helps improve patient outcomes, reduce fatigue among staff, and make the best use of hospital resources. Ultimately, operating room efficiency supports smooth, safe, and timely surgical care delivery.
