Human skin is covered in both pathogenic and non-pathogenic flora, which can be transmitted from surface to surface in a way that may or may not be associated with nosocomial infection. The transmission of microorganisms within healthcare environments presents the possibility of nosocomial infection, especially in the cases of Staphylococcus aureus, enterocci, Pseudomonas spp, Klebsiella spp, and Acinetobacter spp.

While there are studies focused on the effect that architectural layout, space planning, and adjacencies have on workflow patterns at the unit level, there are few studies at the micro level of individual procedure rooms or surgical suites. The layout of the OR and the placement of equipment may contribute to extraneous and unnecessary movement or create barriers to safety and efficiency, resulting in surgical workflow disruption (SFDs).
