Abstract

PURPOSE: Recent studies have explored the application of manufacturing efficiency principles as a framework for improving operating room (OR) throughput, quality of care and patient outcomes. However, these principles have not yet been validated with real-world research data. In this study, we investigated whether applying these principles has an impact on the operational excellence and teams' consistency of robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RATKA) procedures.
