Changes in surgical technology and in the modes of delivering surgical care affect hospital management profoundly. Lack of appreciation of these changes has cost hospitals dearly over the past two decades. To plan better for the decade ahead, hospital CEOs must increase their awareness of the changes in the nature of surgical procedures and practices, the advances in surgical technology to which their individual hospital can adapt, and the newer trends in surgical department design and management practices. Awareness of these developments can serve as a springboard to predicting many of these changes to come. But every new advance must be studied individually to see how it fits into the practice patterns of a given hospital. The goal for the CEO is to have a maximally efficient, safe and productive surgical suite, satisfied patients and surgical staff, and a dependable profit center in the hospital.
外科技术的变革以及手术护理提供模式的变化对医院管理产生了深远影响。在过去二十年里，对这些变化缺乏认识让医院付出了沉重代价。为了更好地规划未来十年，医院首席执行官们必须提高对手术程序和实践性质变化、其所在医院能够适应的外科技术进步以及外科科室设计和管理实践新趋势的认识。了解这些发展动态可以成为预测未来许多此类变化的跳板。但每一项新进展都必须单独研究，以确定其如何融入特定医院的实践模式。首席执行官的目标是拥有一个效率最高、安全且高效的手术室、满意的患者和手术人员，以及医院中一个可靠的利润中心。
