Many hospitals are struggling amid staffing shortages, inpatient bed availability and operating room (OR) capacity to expand patients’ access to surgical care and clear the backlog in cases. Hospitals and health systems are striving to optimize OR efficiency while also enhancing the patient experience and improving outcomes. This executive dialogue looks at how health leaders are expanding and monitoring the use of existing OR capacity, using anesthesiologists and surgical teams to improve perioperative performance and exploring new practice models.</p><div class="row">@media (min-width:768px){ .EDsponsorFloat{ float:right;
