Desirable place to work While increased efficiency and safety are 2 big benefits to the new rooms, our surgeons' desire to use the integrated suites has also helped make the upgrade worth it. At the time we started the process of integration, we had a lot of senior surgeons and wanted to bring some younger doctors in. Since implementation, we've definitely done just that. But, the sur- prising thing is that our older surgeons like the technology just as much. And it's not just our surgeons attracted to the hospital's high- tech ORs. Our staff loves them, too. I even have a waiting list of people wanting to join our team, and that's in a time when most are struggling to try and find OR nurses. I correlate that to the technol- ogy and equipment we have here. People don't have to work harder, since they're working smarter.
