====== Perioperative ======

The perioperative period, less commonly spelled the peroperative period, is the time period describing the duration of a patient's surgical [[procedure]]; this commonly includes ward [[admission]], [[anesthesia]], surgery, and [[recovery]]. Perioperative generally refers to the three phases of surgery: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative. The goal of perioperative care is to provide better conditions for patients before operation, during operation, and after operation.




The perioperative setting is unique in that it is typically the only practice setting whereby members of different health professions work simultaneously to provide care.

Factors that influence surgical team efficiency include [[staff]] availability, turnover time and teamwork. [[Teamwork]] is enhanced by effective communication, collaboration and a sense of solidarity among surgical team members.

Evidence supports that differences in culture, language, generation and discipline-specific role expectations can significantly and negatively influence teamwork and OR efficiency and are requisite in the design and planning strategies for perioperative services
