Abstract
To control the efficiency of surgery, it is ideal to have actual starting times of surgical procedures coincide with their planned start time. This study analysed over 4 years of data from a large metropolitan hospital and identified factors associated with surgery commencing close to the planned starting time via statistical modelling. A web application comprising novel visualisations to complement the statistical analysis was developed to facilitate translational impact by providing theatre administrators and clinical staff with a tool to assist with continuous quality improvement.
