Does your facility keep CVOR and general OR separate?

[RunnerNurse]

I work at a hospital that has kept our CVOR separate from the general OR, but administration is currently pushing to merge the two. Everything they try doesn't seem to work. My opinion is that it is a specialty and should remain separate. Are most other CVORs separate? Does it work? I'd love to hear more input.

Ours is separate.
