Suppose an OR needs a new floor, new sterilizers, a new ventilation system, overhead lights, or a floor‐to‐ceiling renovation. How can an OR manager or director manage a project of this magnitude and continue to provide safe, effective, and efficient patient care? This article explains how, with proper planning, construction projects can be managed safely, effectively, and efficiently for patients, staff members, physicians, and contractors.
