Wanted to get an idea whether your hospital has cameras in every OR. We're at a small community hospital (150 beds) with 12 ORs. Administration wants cameras to increase OR efficiency and lower room traffic. OR desk can then monitor whether room is being set up between cases, and also whether drapes up or down, incision has been made, closing skin, etc. instead of going in and out of OR. Cameras won't record and won't have sound. Surgeons are very against it - saying it's violation of patient confidentiality and invasion of privacy.
Our department isn't really for or against. We understand the pros and cons. Just wanted to see what others have at their place. They had cameras in every OR where I trained 15 years ago, so this is nothing new. Any input is much appreciated.
