Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does elective change of surgeon during the OR day have an operationally negligible impact on turnover time?
Answer: The investigated institution averages 2.5 cases per OR per day. The cumulative additional turnover time (far less than one hour per OR per day) for switching surgeons definitely does not allow the addition of another elective procedure if the difference could be eliminated. A flexible scheduling policy allowing surgeon swapping rather than requiring full blocks incurs minimal additional staffed time during the OR day while allowing the schedule to be filled with available elective cases.
Output (English): yes
