Use of a deployable medical system during the remodeling of an OR.

Abstract:

:How can a five-suite OR be remodeled while providing continuous, cost-effective surgical procedures without decreasing workload? Such a question was met with an innovative answer at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Fresno, Calif. Deployable Medical System units were selected to provide surgical support. The decision-making process, challenges, and surgical capabilities will be reviewed. Methods of quality control are presented, and cost benefits are described.
