Abstract

Purpose: Determining the factors that affect productivity in operating rooms, which make up about one third of hospital expenditures, and developing strategies for these elements is a matter of importance for hospital managers. The fact that operating rooms are among the highest expenditure items and at the same time being among the highest sources of income has been the main factor in determining the factors affecting the efficiency of the operating room. Material and Method: Analytical network process method, which is one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods, which enables quantitative evaluation of qualitatively effective factors, was used. Results and Conclusion: In this study, the factors affecting the efficiency of operating rooms were evaluated. According to the results, it is seen that the usage of the operating room comes to the forefront at the same time and the personnel goes through the harmony with the colleagues. In addition, the accuracy of the operation times of the operations on the waiting list directly affects the effective use of the operating rooms. At this point, the cancellation rate of operations can be reduced by making effective plans with the correct estimated operation time. Thus, effective and efficient use of operating rooms can be increased.
