Integrating Patient-Centered Perioperative Care Continuum Digital Closed-Loop Management With Overall Every Control to Improve Perioperative Efficiency: A Mixed-Methods Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPerioperative care is inherently complex, requiring seamless coordination among multidisciplinary teams. Traditional, fragmented workflows often lead to delays, inefficiencies, and increased risk, compromising both patient safety and operational performance.
objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of a patient-centered, digitally enabled closed-loop perioperative management system, implemented within the overall every control (OEC) framework, on operating room efficiency.
methodsWe developed and implemented a patient-centered perioperative care continuum digital closed-loop system that integrated real-time data from the surgical anesthesia system to orchestrate a standardized workflow across the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative continuum. The study employed a mixed-methods design. Quantitative data on the on-time start rate of the first surgery, turnover time, and operating room utilization were collected from the preintervention baseline period (2022, n = 18,076 cases) through the postintervention period (2023-2024, n = 54,684 cases). Qualitative data from semistructured interviews with surgeons, nurses, and patients provided insights into the user experience.
resultsQuantitative data revealed a significant and sustained improvement, with the on-time start rate increasing from 74.6% to 89.5% (p < 0.001), and operating room utilization also rose significantly (p < 0.001), despite a 51% rise in surgical volume and a higher-acuity patient caseload. Importantly, no system-related adverse events were detected throughout the study period. Qualitatively, healthcare providers reported better teamwork, reduced cognitive load, and greater professional fulfillment, while patients experienced substantially shorter waiting times and less preoperative anxiety. The mixed-methods approach suggested that these efficiency improvements were not only procedural but also associated with a fundamental enhancement of the work environment and care experience.
conclusionsThe OEC-guided closed-loop management system was associated with enhanced perioperative efficiency and sustained patient safety under conditions of increased demand. This model demonstrates that integrating real-time digital feedback with a standardized management framework may create a virtuous cycle of continuous improvement, yielding favorable outcomes for both healthcare providers and patients. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nursing leadership is pivotal in implementing digital closed-loop perioperative systems, which may enhance efficiency and patient safety by streamlining workflows, reducing cognitive load, and improving staff well-being, thereby demonstrating the potential of digitally augmented, nurse-led management models.
