Today’s inane image of the day : Posing in a thoughtful manner during my fall trip to London. Last week, I reflected on 2023. As sort-of-promised, I decided to set some 2024 intentions. I think that every single day is a new opportunity to set and achieve goals; I don’t think we need a designated time of the year to do these things. I have short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term goals that I set and review on a semi-regular basis.

The cost dynamics at play in operating rooms and perioperative departments are distinct from the rest of the hospital. In most hospitals, the labor-to-supplies cost ratio for perioperative departments hovers around 35:65. In stark contrast, labor expenses account for roughly 80% of costs in nearly every other hospital department.
