• ONE OF THE MOST resource intensive areas in many hospitals is the OR, which often accounts for more than 50% of a hospital's materials management budget. • SURGICAL SERVICES MANAGERS often have no formal training in materials and financial management, but they are held accountable for one of the most costly clinical areas in the hospital. • A PROGRAM PROPOSED for Navy perioperative nurse managers is a five‐day course that covers the basics of Navy medical materials and financial management as they apply to the OR. Application strategies for the civilian sector also are discussed. AORN J 81 (April 2005) 801–812.
