Abstract :

 

Utilization analysis is an important part of hospital operations which has been a priority area for hospital administrators. It is essential to improve the efficiency of operation theatres and to decide about augmentation or downsizing of the theatre facility. This study aims at measurement of utilization of Operation rooms. The study covered 5 major departments Urosurgery, General surgery, Gastro–intestinal surgery, ENT and Pediatrics. Average utilization of Gastrointestinal OT, General Surgery OT, Urology OT, Pediatrics OT and ENT OT was calculated to be 98%, 77%, 91.5%, 102% and 85.4% respectively while average turnaround time was found to be 26 minute, 35 minutes, 29 minutes, 33 minutes and 27 minutes respectively. Optimum utilization can be achieved by good interaction between OT and hospital staff, and benchmarking of procedure timing to make effective scheduling of OT.
