Improving Operating Room Efficiency
Current Urology Reports, 2019Operating rooms are critical financial centers for hospital systems, with surgical care representing about a third of all health care spending. However, not all of the costs are appropriate or necessary, as there are sometimes significant inefficiencies in how operating rooms are utilized.Recent innovations utilizing patient-centered data, systems ...

Efficiency improvement in the operating room
Journal of Surgical Research, 2016In the changing health care environment, health systems, hospitals, and health care providers must focus on improving efficiency to meet an increasing demand for high-quality, low-cost health care. Much has been written about strategies and efforts to improve efficiency in the perioperative periods, yet the time when the patient is in the operating ...

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2018
The operating room is the financial hub of any hospital, and maximizing operating room efficiency has important implications for cost savings, patient satisfaction, and medical team morale. Over the past decade, manufacturing principles and processes such as Lean and Six Sigma have been applied to various aspects of healthcare including the operating ...

Efficient architectures for operators
Proceedings Electronic Technology Directions to the Year 2000, 2002The paper discusses the possibility of high performance computing for restricted classes of algorithms. An analysis of signal processing algorithms has identified a number of common operators which can be implemented efficiently with VLSI technology. The integration of these operators into conventional workstation environments provides the potential ...

Operational Efficiency and Time of Day
Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 1984Forty-eight subjects performed a battery of six predominantly perceptual tasks that were relevant to bridge operations on a ship at sea. Sessions were run at six times over an extended waking day, between 0800 and midnight. For some of the tasks performance was noticeably deficient at certain times of day, the diurnal pattern corresponding ...

Operating room efficiency and scheduling
Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2005The review focuses on six papers published in 2004 that pertain to operating room (OR) efficiency.When to release OR time was much less important than was having the correct OR allocations in the first place. If OR time must be released, then this decision should be based on the historical scheduled workload.

Efficient implementation of lattice operations
ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems, 1989Lattice operations such as greatest lower bound (GLB), least upper bound (LUB), and relative complementation (BUTNOT) are becoming more and more important in programming languages supporting object inheritance. We present a general technique for the efficient implementation of such operations based on an encoding method.

Efficiency of the operating room suite
The American Journal of Surgery, 2003The need to control high costs of running operating rooms while providing for timely patient care led us to assess the time wasted in the operating room (OR).OR use by two general surgery and two orthopedic departments in a metropolitan public hospital were analyzed, and the time elapsed when a scheduled OR remained unused or the patient was still ...

An Efficient Data Structure for Lattice Operations
SIAM Journal on Computing, 1999Summary: In this paper, we consider the representation and management of an element set on which a lattice partial order relation is defined. In particular, let \(n\) be the element set size. We present an \(O(n\sqrt n)\)-space implicit data structure for performing the following set of basic operations: 1.
