FlowOne Lean Consulting Process

Operating Room

Operating Room management is complex, requiring the coordination of many different players—surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists, and support staff—to provide a high level of care for the patient.

OR managers and directors face many challenges: meeting surgeon goals for patient volumes, scheduling of elective and non-elective cases, room turnover delays, poor surgeon-anesthesia-nursing collaboration, and inconsistent patient and family satisfaction.

FlowOne has developed a systematic approach to improve patient care by deploying both Lean processes and culture change tools.

Results include reduction in Room Turnover times, Increase in OR capacity, Improved Team work between the work groups, Optimized scheduling, Reduced space, and increases in patient and staff satisfaction.
