Measuring Safety and Efficiency in the Operating Room: Development and Validation of a Metric for Evaluating Task Execution in the Operating Room

Abstract

The Metric for Evaluating Task Execution in the Operating Room is easy to use and can identify specific gaps in safety and/or efficiency in OR processes. Next, we should examine its links with additional measures of OR performance, for example, patient outcomes, list cancellations/delays, and nontechnical skills.
