    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Organizational Psychology

    Background:

    • Planning meetings are often perceived solely as task-oriented events.
    • The value of collaborative planning in healthcare settings, particularly in high-stress environments like the operating room (OR), is often underestimated.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the multifaceted benefits of regular planning meetings beyond task completion.
    • To explore how collaborative planning can enhance team cohesion, mutual understanding, and conflict resolution within hospital ORs.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative analysis of the impact of OR planning meetings on interprofessional dynamics.
    • Observation and discussion of how these meetings address team-building, goal alignment, and conflict diffusion.

    Main Results:

    • Meetings fostered esprit de corps and reinforced shared goals among OR staff.
    • Enhanced appreciation for diverse professional constraints and objectives, clarifying intergroup behaviors.
    • Provided a platform for open discussion, diffusing potential conflicts before they impacted patient care.

    Conclusions:

    • Regular, collaborative planning meetings offer significant benefits beyond task accomplishment for OR teams.
    • These sessions serve as a valuable tool for team building, conflict management, and improving overall OR functioning.
    • Implementing regular planning as a form of group catharsis may be particularly beneficial given the high-stress nature of OR work.
