Abstract
With Medicare reimbursement diminishing and the aging population consuming more health care, hospitals continue to push for reforms to improve the efficiency of health care delivery, decrease consumption, and elevate the quality of care. Operating rooms command a large share of hospital resources but are also major revenue generators. Surgical care has evolved to become more efficient and accountable. Defining the characteristics of an accountable operating room team has been more elusive and inconsistent. This review defines the characteristics of accountable operating room teams and recommends measures by which to evaluate them. [<i>Orthopedics</i>. 2021;44(4):e463-e470.].
