Sammanfattning
Synopsis: A large portion of the
work done in the operating room
(OR) consists of procedures
that are executed in between surgical
procedures, identified as
change time.
Purpose of the study: To evolve a
method capable of identifying
and measuring the amount of
time required to complete various
tasks during change time. To do
this, we used a version of the
Time Measurement Method,
MTM. During a time period
spanning several days, the project
leader and staff recorded all activities
that took place during
change time. Using conclusions
gathered from this data, a protocol
for observations was developed.
In addition, places of observation
were identified from which
all activities during change time
could be recorded. Over a 14-day
period, the staff and project leader
randomly sought these observation
places out during regular
work hours, and ongoing activities
were registered.
Results: 160 activities performed
during change time were identified.
These could be subdivided
into 10 discrete categories. Out of
these categories (which constitute
a significant portion of the Cumulative
Staffed Operating Room
(CSOR)- time), it was found that
the time for Handling of Tools
(17%) was the largest category,
followed by Wait (15%) and Registration
of Patient Information
(14%). Furthermore, all categories
except Wait were deemed
necessary to ensure safety in the
surgical setting. However, using
the results as a basis for discussion,
the question is who shall
carry out the various tasks, as
well as when they ought to be
carried out.
Conclusion: The method that was
developed for this study is suitable
for work analysis. It is also
user friendly for personnel.
