nyone who has been involved
in an OR design and construction
project knows it is a laborintensive,
time-consuming effort-and
usually far from seamless. There's almost
always something no one thinks
of until it is too late, and the staff must
learn to live with the flaws. But a multidisciplinary
team at Wesley Long Hospital
in Greensboro, North Carolina, took
an innovative approach based on Lean
concepts that not only facilitated the
process but also improved efficiency for
the staff working in this new area.
To design their new perioperative
space, the team knew they had to
A
" think outside the box. " They built a
full-scale cardboard mockup of their
new perioperative space in an old warehouse
that they called " cardboard city "
(photo, p 12).
In cardboard city, teams re-enacted
care delivery scenarios that informed
the process of building the 10 new
ORs and 20 postanesthesia care unit
(PACU) bays.
More than 70 meetings with physicians
and staff, in addition to shadowing
each team member through their
workday, allowed the designers to eliminate
wasted space and inefficiency.

How do you handle social determinants?
S
ocial and demographic factors
play a huge role in any patient's
overall health and recovery from
surgery. When treating patients who
lack health insurance, family support,
or language/literacy skills-among
many other possible disadvantages-
providing safe patient care can extend
well beyond clinical aspects. OR managers
and their staffs may take on tasks
ranging from arranging for transportation
to managing ethical dilemmas.
Healthcare leaders will offer their
insights during the annual OR Manager
Conference. Jacob Runion, MBA, BSN,
RN, CNOR, director of nursing at the
Cleveland Clinic, and Janet Duran, DNP,
MSN, MHA, RN, perioperative director
at Fairview Hospital and ASC, a regional
hospital of the Cleveland Clinic, will
discuss " The New Reality We Face: Addressing
Social Determinants in the
Surgical Suite " on September 18.
The social determinants of health
described in Healthy People 2020 (p
9) encourage healthcare to create good
health for all. However, " social determiContinued
