    Book description

    Distilling the ideas central to managing operating theatres, this book provides a practical and easy to use toolkit to improve theatre efficiency and patient outcomes. It advocates using time as the key measurement and proposes a new norm of operating theatre management based on rational, data-driven principles. Notions of 'efficiency' and 'scheduling' are clearly defined, and a scheduling toolkit available to download accompanies the work. The book's easy to use format supports managers in list planning, performance monitoring and demand-capacity matching while considering limited budgets and resources. It includes contributions from around the world, demonstrating the global application of its core approach. Aimed primarily at operating theatre managers, this book will also interest consultants, senior trainees, nurses and administrators who are involved in the daily running of the operating theatre and/or want to develop their leadership/managerial skills.

    Reviews

    'This book is a useful resource to anesthesiologists, operating room managers, and financial analysts on the topics of data-driven metrics. It provides a unique educational resource for those who are new to the topic of operating room efficiency, utilization, and productivity.'

    Axel Rodriguez and Amr E. Abouleish Source: Anesthesiology

    ‘… Practical Operating Theatre Management: Measuring and Improving Performance and Patient Experience delivers on both content and readability supported by data-driven metrics, making it a useful resource for clinical staff, theatre managers, and hospital management alike. I highly recommended it for future healthcare management course curricula.’
