A poorly functioning OR facility can be an enormous drain on the financial well-being of any health care organization. Even worse, poor function puts patient care in jeopardy.

Hopkins and its team of experts have years of experience in managing ORs and all the elements that can affect a well-executed operation. 

The Hopkins team assesses the full range of OR management systems for our international partners’ facilities. We shed light on how to provide coordinated OR scheduling, use resources more efficiently as well as control supply and staff costs—all while delivering the highest quality of care. 

Our assessments include:

• OR policies, procedures and structure 
• OR Nursing: overall staffing patterns, training of new staff, maintaining competency of current staff, OR nursing policies and procedures
• OR Equipment/Instrumentation: inventory, management, equipment flow process, usage training
• OR supplies: how supplies are obtained, delivery methods, how needed supplies are identified, management, process for obtaining new supplies
• Oversight of daily OR schedule, how this is managed and by whom, how cases are scheduled
