Contribution of Coordination Theories to the Determination of Human Factors Associated With Operating Room Perceived Performance
Authors' conclusion
Based on existing literature on multi-team systems (as represented in the OS organization), this study identifies success factors influencing OS coordination. These include the OS manager's leadership skills; the identification of formal system objectives; and professional differentiation between stakeholders (absence/decrease of a sense of belonging to a multi-team system).

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Coordination mechanisms and perceived performance
- OR exhibited a high degree of coordination
- Improved perception of performance in the operating suite (OS) depended on managerial competency, trust, and authority
- Perceived performance in the regulation council and OS council depended on identification of formal objectives by all stakeholders and development of common understanding
