Non-operating room anesthesia workflow (NORA) implementation to improve start times in interventional radiology.

Background: Non-OR Anesthesia (NORA) is rapidly becoming standard in many high-volume institutions and efficiency in these spaces has yet to be optimized. On-time first start percentage has been suggested to correlate with more efficient flow, and this correlation is established within the surgical space.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of timetable targets on first case on-time first start percentage within a NORA setting.
