Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is prototyping a new design in operating rooms which may be a benchmark for the future. The new design significantly enhances operating room procedures, saving time, improving patient care and reducing demands on the medical staff. The experimental operating room has adopted such basic improvements as larger sinks, more high-tech marvels like wall-mounted plasma displays, and novel workflow changes, such as the addition of adjoining rooms for preparation and recovery. MGH's "operating room of the future" is improving throughput while reducing stress on doctors and nurses.
