Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Surgical Operations
  • Patient Waiting Lists

Background:

  • Efficient operating theatre time management is critical for reducing surgical waiting lists.
  • Orthopaedic surgery cancellations contribute to prolonged patient wait times.
  • Understanding cancellation causes is key to improving surgical scheduling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey and identify the primary causes of operation cancellations in orthopaedic surgery.
  • To analyze the impact of theatre schedule management on surgical cancellations.
  • To propose strategies for reducing orthopaedic surgery cancellations.

Main Methods:
