Moreover, even less of these studies examine operating rooms or have clinical co-authors to give the design assessments clinical face-validity. Improving Future Operating Room Design. With the increasing interest on hospital and surgeon performance, the time is ripe to explore how the operating room could be designed better to improve both.
The guidelines developed through this study identified many opportunities for improving the design of hospital Med/Surg rooms to allow staff to be more effective, efficient, and safer, while at the same time addressing the design needs of patients and their visitors.
