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.
