Publisher's Synopsis
Nurses, anesthesiologists, surgeons, healthcare administrators, and other professionals having specialized knowledge are all involved in the management of the operating room. In the current healthcare environment, there is increasing pressure on these professionals to provide high quality surgical care at the lowest possible cost. High-quality operating room management not only reduces costs but also improves satisfaction of the many surgical "customers"-patients, surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, technical staff, administrators-and improves quality of the product. Operating Room Management provides clinicians and administrators with the tools they need to improve the performance of their operating room suites and develop a competitive advantage.
