Abstract
When numerous demands like surgeon requests, changing staffing requirements and capacity issues compete for OR time and space, the surgical schedule can take on a life of its own. Yet, the surgical schedule doesn't have to be hard to manage. Studies clearly show that schedulers should consider five key guiding principles in the following order: patient safety, access, OR efficiency, patient service and physician satisfaction. In this article, I'll show you how these five principles will help you get your surgical schedule under control.
