Redesigns of workflow to allow parallel processing of OR tasks in the Operating Room of the Future at Massachusetts General Hospital have reduced non-operative time, increasing OR throughput. Automatically gathered anesthesia times were studied to address concerns that the new process constricted anesthesia work time. Upon close examination, it was found that 'Induction Time' was the only time interval not impacted by extraneous influences that invalidated other metrics based on the automatic data. 'Induction Time' increased in the Operating Room of the Future as compared to Standard Operating Rooms.
麻省总医院未来手术室对工作流程进行了重新设计，以实现手术室任务的并行处理，从而减少了非手术时间，提高了手术室的工作效率。对自动收集的麻醉时间进行了研究，以解决新流程缩短麻醉工作时间的担忧。经过仔细检查，发现“诱导时间”是唯一不受外部影响的时间间隔，这些外部影响使基于自动数据的其他指标无效。与标准手术室相比，未来手术室的“诱导时间”有所增加。
