Primes

• Switching Cost
  • In surgical operations it is case changeover — room turnover, instrument setup, anesthesia induction and emergence — as a per-procedure transition cost.

    This sourceOperating-room case changeover (turnover, instrument setup, anaesthesia induction/emergence) as a per-procedure transition cost reducible by structured intervention (a 48% changeover-time reduction).
