Objectives

• Describe the two “12”s (output vs. finish‑time) and re‑state them in terms that fit your practice. • List the three most actionable OR time segments: In‑Room‑to‑Cut, Surgery Time, Close‑to‑Out. • Explain why measuring active OR time—not merely empty‑room turnover—drives the biggest gains. • Draft a first‑pass efficiency goal that balances surgeon capacity, staff well‑being and patient flow. • Articulate the patient‑benefit link: shorter waitlists, fewer cancellations, quicker rehab starts.

Discussion Prompts

1. Describe a recent day when the surgeon waited >5 min for the room; what foresight data could have prevented it? 2. How comfortable is your anaesthesia team with blocks in pre‑op? Share successes or concerns. 3. What real‑time display (whiteboard, EMR screen, etc.) could make delays visible without finger‑pointing?
