Description

<p>Shortening turnover time in the operating room is an effective way to increase the number of surgeries. In our hospital, a pharmacist has prepared injections and managed narcotics in the operating room since 2009. This study determined the effect on turnover time of adding a pharmacist to the staff in the operating room. The median turnover time from October-December 2014（pharmacist group）was significantly shorter than from October-December 2008（non-pharmacist group）. Furthermore, in the seven surgical departments tested, median turnover time was shorter in the pharmacist group than in the non-pharmacist group in five departments. Our results demonstrated that the inclusion of pharmacists to the staff in the operating room is effective at shortening turnover time.</p>
