Abstract
Average turnover times for general surgery for the previous three months were analyzed retrospectively. This quality improvement project aimed to reduce turnover times by eliminating inefficiencies, removing redundant tasks, designating specific team member roles, and standardizing the process. This was accomplished through parallel processing.
