    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Nursing Informatics
    • Surgical Operations

    Background:

    • Daily planning is essential but challenging for professionals.
    • The nursing process offers a structured approach to problem-solving and goal achievement.
    • Operating room (OR) settings require meticulous planning for efficient case management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of the nursing process as a planning tool in an OR setting.
    • To assess the impact of structured planning on operational efficiency and system implementation.
    • To demonstrate the utility of the nursing process beyond direct patient care.

    Main Methods:

    • Adapted the nursing process for use in OR planning.
    • Applied the adapted nursing process to generate surgical case supply preference lists.
    • Documented the number of lists prepared and the timeframe for completion.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully prepared over 1,500 surgical case supply preference lists within 5 weeks.
    • Demonstrated a high level of planning accuracy and efficiency.
    • Facilitated the timely implementation of an automated charging system for surgical cases.

    Conclusions:

    • The nursing process is a highly effective tool for complex operational planning in healthcare settings.
    • Structured planning, utilizing the nursing process, significantly enhances OR efficiency.
    • Effective planning is critical for the successful integration of new healthcare technologies and systems.
