Abstract
Operating room nursing and surgical technologist are two disciplines that provide perioperative care in the operating room. However, they have distinct histories, philosophies, curricula, and functions that shape their professional identities and boundaries. This paper critically analyzes the literature on these disciplines, focusing on their historical development, current situation, future directions, and the implications of paradigm shift for their evolution. The findings suggest that both fields are undergoing significant transformations due to technological advancements and changing healthcare needs, and highlight the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and continuous adaptation to ensure high-quality perioperative care for patients.
期刊介绍：
The objective of this new online journal is to serve as a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed source of information related to the administrative, economic, operational, safety, and quality aspects of the ambulatory and in-patient operating room and interventional procedural processes. The journal will provide high-quality information and research findings on operational and system-based approaches to ensure safe, coordinated, and high-value periprocedural care. With the current focus on value in health care it is essential that there is a venue for researchers to publish articles on quality improvement process initiatives, process flow modeling, information management, efficient design, cost improvement, use of novel technologies, and management.
