surgical capacity

Surgical capacity refers to the ability of a healthcare facility to perform surgeries, which depends on available resources like operating rooms, surgical staff, equipment, and support services. It determines how many surgeries can be scheduled and completed within a certain timeframe. Factors such as staff availability, equipment readiness, and hospital policies influence capacity. Adequate surgical capacity ensures timely treatment, reduces wait times, and improves patient outcomes. Conversely, limited capacity can lead to delays or cancellations, affecting patient health and the efficiency of healthcare delivery.
