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).

Treats between-case changeover as a measurable per-case time cost, including induction and exit from theatre, and shows a 48% structured-intervention reduction.
“The overall changeover time reduced from 27.7 min (95% CI 22.8–32.7%) to 15.7 min (95% CI 13.2–18.2%).”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
