Materiel management in the operating room: a case study.
The hospital continues to be pleased with the progress of our material services program in all areas, but especially surgery. It took a few simple, basic methods, such as exchange carts and inventory control, mixed them with people who actually care about doing a good job, and the whole program moved forward dramatically. People, both in materiel services and surgery, have accomplished a tremendous amount in the past two years. They have made, and will continue to improve, an already excellent program.
