摘要：The design and establishment of the operating theatre (OT) is not a simple architecture engineering work. This project needs a specialized planning and execution effort from all engineering specialists driven and coordinated by the needs, preferences and safety of the medical/surgical team. More than one reference in operating theatre design is available, but each reference is dedicated for the design of a special part of the project. This paper presents a complete comprehensive integrated paperless database application program called Operating Theatre Design Analyzer (OTDA). This application is used to ensure the optimal OT design referring to seven international standards and three accreditation programs integrated with each other throughout the recommendation report has been resulted. It helps the owners of healthcare facilities or those who are interested in this area to identify and solve the problems in the OT design. The program was introduced to many hospitals in different Arab countries for evaluation; the percentage of compliance with standard for each item in OTDA was recorded. The analysis of the results reflects a lack of infection control awareness and misunderstanding of the role of the clinical engineer in OT design and healthcare facilities design as whole
