The operating room suite is a small business unit functioning within a parent organization (hospital or medical center). For this reason, it must be managed with effective business methods similar to those used in industry. Operating Room Management applies constructive business strategy to the operating room suite, dealing with issues including organizational structure, financial management, accounting principles, inventory control, operations management, and marketing. Detailing the elements necessary for the efficient functioning of the operating room, this book is designed to help anesthesiologists and managers who are actively engaged in day-to-day operating room management or who have broad administrative or fiscal responsibilities for the operating room suite.
