What is the goal of participating in product evaluation activities in the OR?

The primary goal of participating in product evaluation activities in the operating room is to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Engaging in these evaluations allows the surgical team to assess new products, devices, and technologies based on their effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. By systematically evaluating how different products perform within a surgical context, teams can identify those that not only meet clinical needs but also contribute to financial savings for the healthcare facility. This process may involve comparing various options, understanding their impact on procedural efficiency, and ensuring that the selected products enhance patient care while managing budgetary constraints.

Evaluating products also plays a crucial role in determining how they might streamline workflows, reduce waste, and limit unnecessary expenditures. Therefore, the focus on cost reduction and efficiency improvement becomes essential in making informed decisions that positively affect surgical outcomes and resource management.
