Turnover rates are one of the top concerns of leadership in the perioperative setting. A successful quality improvement project can ensure that the perioperative area runs smoothly and is financially stable. Improved turnover rates can lead to cost containment, patient and surgeon satisfaction, and increased patient safety. The faster the turnover from one surgical case to the next in each operating room, the more beneficial to the patient and the operating room. A large organization in the Pacific Northwest reported 30 to 45-minute turnover times in the robotics specialty operating rooms. A change in workflow led to an improvement in turnover times in the robotics specialty. Turnover times improved to under 25 minutes in eight cases and under 30 minutes for an additional eight cases out of the 37 cases reviewed. Streamlining the workflow process and having staff remain accountable for maintaining quality improvement processes will continue to improve turnover times.
