经济上的考虑表明，在配备工作人员的情况下保持手术室的充分利用是可取的，但手术室(OR)的最佳利用率尚不清楚。我们创建了OR的模拟，以定义最佳利用率。我们设定了行动目标，使案件在预定时间的15分钟内开始，并在预定的一天结束后不超过15分钟结束。在这些目标中，85%到90%的利用率是可以在不延迟或延迟的情况下实现的最高利用率。增加案件持续时间的可变性会降低在这些目标范围内可实现的利用率。
Economic considerations suggest that it is desirable to keep operating rooms fully used when staffed, but the optimum utilization of an operating room (OR) is not known. We created a simulation of an OR to define optimum utilization. We set operational goals of having cases start within 15 min of the scheduled time and of having the cases end no more than 15 min past the scheduled end of the day. Within these goals, a utilization of 85% to 90% is the highest that can be achieved without delay or running late. Increasing the variability of case duration decreases the utilization that can be achieved within these targets.
