摘要

The reduction or 'optimization' of turnover times between procedures in the operating room (OR) is often considered an important tool to increase OR efficiency. This contrasts with findings in a recent survey of 257 anesthesiology department heads conducted by the German Society of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (DGAI), the Professional Association of German Anaesthesiologists (BDA), and Hohenheim University. It showed that a mere 25% of German hospitals currently use prospective turnover times as a management tool. Important characteristics of modern OR-management such as the existence of an OR-charter or the position of responsible OR-manager increase the probability for the use of prospective targets for turnover times. The study's most important result was that turnover times can be reduced by up to 20% if a hospital establishes a centralized OR management. Findings in international studies show that higher reduction rates can only be achieved by implementing more far-reaching structural and organizational changes. In this context, the related concepts of centralized induction and/or parallel processing have attracted considerable attention in recent years. We argue, however, that the use of these concepts to reduce turnover times may be somewhat problematic. The reason is that reduced turnover times by definition also constrain the available time intervals for other important processes notably maintenance of OR hygiene. An additional problem is the fact that the implementation of centralized induction and/or parallel processing would require considerable initial investment expenditures by German hospitals. In contrast to these immediate outlays, the long-term cost effects of these changes are notoriously difficult to assess and international studies show mixed findings. Based on these arguments, we believe that significant reductions in OR turnover times will not be achieved in most German hospitals in the foreseeable future.
