    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Surgical Operations Research

    Background:

    • Operating room (OR) utilization is critical for hospital efficiency.
    • Delays in OR procedures lead to significant inefficiencies and increased costs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence of factors causing delays in operating room utilization.
    • To identify management strategies for these identified delay factors.

    Main Methods:

    • A study was conducted in late summer of 1987.
    • Data collection focused on factors contributing to OR delays.

    Main Results:

    • Several key factors contributing to OR delays were identified.
    • The incidence of these factors was documented.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding and managing these delay factors can improve OR efficiency.
    • Addressing these issues is essential for optimizing operating room utilization.
