Redesigned Process in the Operating Room: Monitoring and Evaluating Success of Reducing Non-Operativ ..

Project description

The main purpose of the study is to examine whether operating room (OR) efficiency will be improved by significantly decreasing non operative time. This study also aims: 1) to evaluate whether a decrease in non-operative time will result in increased surgeon and staff satisfaction, 2) to determine whether there is an increase in the complication rate during the redesigned process perioperatively and until discharge from the post anesthesia care unit, and 3) to rate patient satisfaction

Bio: I received my degree of Doctor of Medicine from the Saint Joseph University School of Medicine in 1998 and completed anesthesia residency training at the AUB-Medical Center in 2003 followed by a year fellowship in pediatric anesthesia at Children’s Hospital of Michigan (2003-2004). I then repeated my anesthesia residency at Wayne State University in Detroit Michigan (2005-2008). After that, I joined St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis TN (2008-2011) as an assistant professor. I have conducted clinical Research at St Jude and my main interests were the management of chronic pain in children with cancer, pediatric regional anesthesia, and pediatric airway management in children with mediastinal masses. I am currently an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology at the AUB-Medical Center. I am involved in the teaching of medical students and anesthesia residents, as well as conducting clinical research within the department of anesthesiology. I hold an administrative role in parallel as Director of Operating Room.
