Efficient operating room (OR) management is a constant balancing act between optimal OR capacity, allocation of ORs to surgeons, assignment of staff, ordering of materials, and reliable scheduling, while according the highest priority to patient safety. We provide an overview of common concepts in OR management, specifically addressing the areas of strategic, tactical, and operational decision making (DM), and parameters to measure OR efficiency. For optimal OR productivity, a surgical suite needs to define its main stakeholders, identify and create strategies to meet their needs, and ensure staff and patient satisfaction. OR planning should be based on real-life data at every stage and should apply newly developed algorithms.
