Journal Club Feature:

Designing Calm: How OR Layout Shapes Our Work & Well-being
We’ll explore how the physical environment of the OR impacts our stress levels, communication, and ability to work as a team. Please review the attached article and bring your thoughts and curiosity.

Based on the article: Improving the Mental Health of Surgical Teams Through Operating Room Design

Discussion Questions:

• Have you ever felt your OR’s design made your job harder or easier?

• Do we think about how we feel in a space—or just what gear we need?

• What’s one thing you’d change in your OR layout to reduce stress?
