Abstract:
Objective To explore the efficiency of operating room(OR)and its influencing factors from a phenomeno-logical perspective,proposing corresponding improvement strategies.Methods A phenomenological method was adopted,invol-ving in-depth interviews with 13 surgical team members from a tertiary Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)orthopedic hospital in Henan Province,to collect and analyze their multifaceted understanding of OR efficiency.Results The study demonstrated eight interpretative ways of efficiency among team members.The overall framework was largely organization-oriented,with addi-tional human-centered considerations regarding the factors influencing efficiency.Conclusion A unified understanding is crucial for improving both efficiency and quality.This study suggests strategies to optimize OR processes through lean management and human-centered team development to enhance operating room efficiency.Additionally,it highlights the need for future research to incorporate more patient views.
