OR construction challenges for managers.

Abstract

An OR building project is one of the biggest challenges a manager faces. With the dramatic changes in surgery, more managers will have that opportunity. Hospitals are adding on, renovating, and reconfiguring to serve a shifting market. What are the trends for health facilities? How do you gear up for a project? What should you know about the design process? And how do you survive construction--and moving day? In a series of articles in the next several months, veteran managers, planners, architects, and other experts will provide advice you can use so your new OR will be a safe, efficient environment for your patients, staff, and physicians.
