Quality Improvement
Surgical operations have consistently increased in number which is a pointer to the high or equally rising number of patients in pursuit of surgical solutions. Access by the patients to quality surgical operations however is still a problem that needs to be attended to as an initiative into effectiveness and efficiency (Tagge, Thirumoorthi, Garberoglio, & Mitchell, 2017). A critical sector area as far as the health sector is concerned is the operating or theater room. It is a room that requires well trained expert practitioners as surgeons, all the equipment, resources, and tools to enable staff members carry out their roles. Problems facing hospitals ranges from understaffing, inadequate resources, inadequate finances, dissatisfaction amongst staff members and global health shocks such as that of the Coronavirus. There are however factors that allow the effective operationalization of the theater room ranging from proper scheduling of activities, use of guidelines for operating patients, allocating enough resources to the facilities, adequate staffing, and dealing with all emergencies in time to reduce backlog of patient admissions (Tagge et al., 2017). Eventually, operations have to ensure that there is a balance between patient safety and their satisfaction, all which contribute to the harmony of positive patient outcomes.
