Proactive Evaluation of an Operating Room Prototype: A Simulation-Based Modeling Approach

Conclusions Simulation modeling was used to assess the impact of OR layout alternatives on three performance metrics, and the medium-sized OR prototype performs well across the metrics. Future research will consider the relative influence of several factors on traffic-based safety and efficiency performance metrics, resulting in a more predictive simulation design model.
