Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problem: For most hospitals, a major cost is the operating room. Inefficiency increases costs and risks for adverse events. An efficient operating room can also be a major revenue generator. Context: This evidence-based performance improvement project was conducted in a small rural Veteran0́9s Hospital, which belongs to an integrated health network in Central California. The facility has four operating rooms and is expanding services provided to their patients. Intervention: The intervention was the use of analytics and evaluations to improve the operating room efficiency by five percent. The use of 3 separate queries which were combined to generate reports and then some data were entered separately into IBM SPSS 24 for descriptive analytics. The reports provided measures to gauge operating room efficiency. Measures: The analytic results were broken down into three reports. The first was titled Operating Room Times. The second was titled Operating Room Efficiency, and the third was titled Operating Room Utilization. The first was utilized to discern data errors and missing elements of data and to detect cancellations. The second to measure the difference between scheduled times and actual times. The third was for Operating Room utilization and overtime. Results: Data errors decreased by 60% whereas cancellations, surgery start, and surgery end variance fluctuated. On-time starts did show some improvement by over 5%. Operating room utilization and overtime did not improve Conclusion: The project did not achieve its objectives. There was not large buy-in for the project. There are other extenuating factors such as staffing shortages and no beds to admit patients to after surgery that further confounded the data. Data analytics alone cannot improve any area. There must be a desire from top-down for improvement. Plus, there must be a consensus and agreement on what needs to be improved.

Download or read book Evidence Based Models for Evaluating Operating Room Performance written by Abdulkarim Al-Ojaimi and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The operating room (OR) within a hospital environment is one of the most expensive functional areas, yet the use of the OR also provides hospitals with an essential source of income. However, at present, there are variations on how to evaluate the performance of ORs, since there is no clear and full explanation of the concept and methods used for evaluation. The overall aim of this thesis is to develop an evidence based Operating Room Assessment Framework (ORAF) to evaluate Operating Room performance with clear and complete guidelines that can be used by operating room managers, directors or any other medical professionals to evaluate operating room performance, determine OR planning and scheduling efficiency, OR workload and OR utilization. The resulting Operating Room Assessment Framework will assist targeted healthcare professionals in their quest to evaluate, monitor and improve overall Operating Room efficiency. The OR management systems of eight tertiary and teaching hospitals in three countries (Japan, Canada and Saudi Arabia) have been examined from 2010 to 2012, which include more than 98,500 procedures. The Operating Room Assessment Framework (ORAF) involves three important elements of Operating Room performance, namely: OR scheduling level, the type of OR workload, and OR utilization. These elements can simply be read to reach the end result, which includes three types of scheduling levels: under scheduling, ideal scheduling and over scheduling; five types of OR workload: OR total workload (the gross workload), OR actual workload, over workload, unnecessary workload and unexpected workload; and three types of OR utilization: underutilization, ideal utilization, and 100% utilization with over workload. Through the validation process in different hospital contexts, the ORAF has proven its ability to perform satisfactorily, with accuracy, in line within the research's objectives.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluation of the performance of the operating room by the real time of room occupancyNakhli M.S., Kahloul M., Harrathi M.A., Chakroun A., Mhamdi S.Sahloul Hospital, Dept of Anaesthesiology & Intensive Care, Sousse, TunisiaBackground and Goal of Study: The operating room is the most cost consuming area of hospitals. However, it still suffers from the problem of non-optimized organization. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of our operating rooms by the real room occupancy time (RROT). We will also try to identify the main causes that could alter it and to study the problem of deprogramming. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective and observational study conducted in two operating rooms of different specialties during the month of August 2016. For the two studied rooms, a pre-established data sheet was filled during the days of scheduled activity. The parameters collected consist essentially of calculating total RROT and broken down into periods, room occupancy rate, room overflow rate, incidence and causes of non-compliance with the surgical program and causes of RROT alteration.Results and Discussion: The month of August included 23 days of programmed activities for the two studied rooms. The mean start time of the activity was 41.93 min / day u00b1 16.5. The mean overflow time was 11.51 min / day u00b1 26.26. The actual time of occupancy of the room was 246.56 min / day. This RROT corresponds to an average occupancy rate of 68.49% u00b1 28.19. The mean time lost per room and per day with a patient in the room was 13.54 min / day u00b1 19.7. On average 1.86 u00b1 1.24 acts are performed per room and per morning with a total of 86 interventions. The deprogramming rate is 30.64%. Its main causes are the overshoot of the vacation time offered to surgeons (36.84%), the emergencies (18.42%) and the non respect of the anesthesia instructions (15.78%).Conclusion(s): The occupancy rate in our structures is relatively acceptable but should not hide the need to optimize the use of available resources. Corrective actions should focus primarily on delayed start-up. Periodic reassessments ideally through computerized systems are essential.

Download or read book Case Study Review of Operating Room Utilization at Mayo Clinic Arizona MCA written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purposes of this case study was to determine if the operating suites at Mayo Clinic Arizona have been utilized efficiently in the past and identify if there is additional capacity within the current number of the operating rooms. The operating suite consists of 18 operating rooms that support 11 surgical services, 57 surgeons, and a tertiary care practice. The variables examined were: OR capacity, utilized OR capacity, allocated block-time for each service, use of allocated block-time by each service, allocated block-time released by each service, and block time lost. The data used was from calendar years 2006 and 2007. In some instances only 2007 data was used due to the unavailability of 2006 data. Analysis showed raw utilization of 61% and adjusted utilization of 74%. The highest three users of block time were general surgery, gynecology, and urology. In 2007, 946 surgical hours were lost due to delays in the first case of the day. The results of this study suggested the ORs were under utilized in 2006 and 2007 and capacity exists to support more cases in the future. Mayo Clinic would benefit from additional studies on process and efficiency within the ORs. Additionally, the organization should allocate block time to individual surgeons, verses services, to facilitate better understanding of utilization as well as to control staffing costs.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: The purpose was to assess and understand operating room (OR) utilization and efficiency in a pediatric dental residency program. Methods: A retrospective study was performed using chart extraction from 778 patients completed by both pediatric dentistry faculty (n=7) and residents (n=17) in an ambulatory care setting over a 32 month period (between July 2010 and March 2013). Patterns in OR usage time were determined by documenting various timing metrics (start and stop times for anesthesia, start and stop times for the dental procedure, times for throat pack in and out), noting patient information (age and ASA patient classification status), and creating variables by grouping data by clinical provider type and dental procedure. OR usage time was analyzed using multiple regression to estimate the per-tooth or per-mouth time for each type of procedure. Results: The median procedure time was 75 minutes (range= 1 to 517 minutes). Multiple regression indicated that for the average patient, a faculty member took 63.8 minutes (95% CI = 60.8 to 66.7 minutes) and a resident took 81.9 minutes (95% CI = 78.7 to 85.0 minutes, P
