Abstract
Operating rooms are expensive to run, and hospitals strive to be efficient. The purpose of this study was to evaluate an initiative to increase operating theatre ergonomics and organize them to reduce related financial loss in the operating theatre of a quaternary hospital. For this, a 6-step approach was used which includes creation of transport nursing team , patient and family connect, designated bed manager, transport bag and addition of OT delay as a quality indicator. The result showed that a targeted, multifaceted approach can increase the percentage of operations that begin on time in a hospital. The improvement in efficiency and reduction in related financial loss were also observed.
