Practical Operating Theater Management: Measuring and Improving Performance and Patient Experience

Because most anesthesiologists work in the operating room setting, anesthesiologists are involved with the management of the operating room suite (or “theater”). Even if they are not responsible for the management, anesthesiologists still want to understand the decision-making process and metrics that affect their daily schedule and duties. In the United States, anesthesiologists can attend in-person conferences and seminars on leadership, pr actice management, and operating room management offered by national associations, online webinars and resources, and textbooks. Although these offerings will give anesthesiologists groundwork for calculations of metrics,e.g., productivity and efficiency, an in-depth discussion is not done.
