A Prospective Study on Operation Theater Utilization Time and Most Common Causes of Delays and Cancellations of Scheduled Surgeries in a 1000-Bedded Tertiary Care Rural Hospital with a View to Optimize the Utilization of Operation Theater
The operation theater (OT) complex is a costly component of a hospital budget expenditure. This area of hospital activity requires maximum utilization to ensure optimum cost benefit. In any hospital, OT is said to be the source of primary revenue generation with around 50%-60% of revenue generated only with this area.
