Data-driven criteria, including case length and efficient OR setup, are essential for effective flip room allocation. Surgical Directions recommends limiting cases to 90 minutes or less to maximize productivity and streamline operations. Learn more in the Leveraging Data-Driven Solutions for Optimizing Flip Rooms white paper.
Key Takeaways
- Ideal flip room cases fall between 60 and 90 minutes in duration.
- This time frame allows the alternate room to be cleaned, set up and ready in sync with the surgeon’s workflow.
- Cases longer than 90 minutes disrupt the flip room rhythm and reduce OR productivity.
- Matching case lengths to flip room capabilities ensures smoother transitions between procedures.
- Data-driven evaluation of case timing helps determine appropriate surgeon-room pairings.
