Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Surgical Practices
  • Medical Supply Chain

Background:

  • Traditional operating room (OR) practices face increasing scrutiny regarding cost-effectiveness.
  • Perioperative practitioners are urged to analyze procedures that do not impact patient care quality but increase delivery costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the practice of overdraping with disposable products in the OR.
  • To propose strategies for improving the liaison between supply and demand for OR disposable products.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current OR practices concerning disposable product usage.
  • Analysis of supply and demand dynamics for specific disposable items.

Main Results:

  • Overdraping with disposable products represents a potential area for cost reduction in OR settings.
  • Improved communication and coordination between supply and demand can optimize resource utilization.

Conclusions:

  • Reducing unnecessary overdraping can lead to significant cost savings in healthcare delivery.
  • Enhanced collaboration between departments and suppliers is crucial for efficient OR supply management.
