About
Maureen Fimpler is a perioperative nursing expert whose research focuses on improving efficiency and safety in robotic surgery through human factors engineering. Her most cited work, "Discovering the barriers to efficient robotic operating room turnover time: perceptions vs. reality" (2020, 16 citations), reveals critical discrepancies between staff perceptions and actual workflow obstacles, offering data-driven solutions to reduce costly turnover delays. Fimpler co-authored "Improving Operating Room Turnover in Robotic Surgery: A Human Factors Approach" (2019), a collaborative study with physicians and researchers that applies ergonomic principles to streamline surgical transitions. Her contributions bridge the gap between frontline nursing experience and systems-level process improvement, directly impacting patient outcomes and hospital resource utilization. Fimpler’s work has been instrumental in reshaping how surgical teams approach turnover efficiency, demonstrating that small, evidence-based changes can yield significant operational gains. Her research is essential reading for clinicians and administrators seeking to optimize robotic surgery workflows while maintaining the highest standards of patient care.
