This book was released on 2007 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With health-care costs rising and an aging population, the health-care industry is progressively faced with the problem of growing demand and diminishing reimbursements. Hospital administration is often faced with a lack of quantifiable data regarding surgical suite capacity and the impact of adding new surgical procedures. With the inherent variation in surgery due to unique procedures and patients, accurately measuring maximum capacity in the surgical suite through mathematical models is difficult to do without making simplifying assumptions. Several hospitals calculate their operating room (OR) efficiencies by comparing total OR time available to total surgical time used. This metric fails to account for the required non-value added tasks between surgeries and the balance necessary for patients to arrive at the OR as soon as possible without compromising patient satisfaction. Since surgical suites are the financial engine for many hospitals and the decisions made with regard to the surgical suite can significantly impact a hospital's success, this thesis develops a methodology through simulation to more accurately define current and potential capacity levels within the surgical suite. Additionally, scheduling policies, which schedule patients based on the variability of their surgical time as well as the implementation of flexible ORs capable of servicing multiple operation genres, are examined for individual and interaction effects with regard to surgical suite capacity, patient waiting times, and resource utilization. Through verification and validation, the model is shown to be an effective tool in representing patient flow and testing policies and procedures within the surgical suite. An application to the surgical suite at Chenango Memorial Hospital (Norwich, NY) illustrates the methodology and potential impacts of this research"--Abstract.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Process improvements in hospitals usually focus on a single department (eg. emergency department, operating theater, specialty clinic, etc). However, actions taken in one department inevitably affect the performance of other departments. Therefore, higher efficiency improvements can be obtained by considering the patient care process as one synergetic activity involving several departments and various sets of resources. In this research we propose an integrated approach for modeling the patient lifecycle for multiple departments. First we describe a patient flow from his/her entry into the hospital through a progressive care unit until the patient has fully recovered. We use process mapping methods to address value added activities and other necessary activities in the patient lifecycle. Then, a simulation model is developed in Simio using customized objects created in previous works. Those customized objects carry their own logic and behavior. For example, the Bed object includes logic for a patient recovering while using several hospital resources (nurses, therapist) in his/her hospital stay. Those objects were used to build several configurations of an integrated model with multiple departments. Data about patient arrival patterns, their health acuity, and procedure needs were obtained from a real hospital in order to test our approach. The procedures duration data (which were different for different levels of patient acuity and for different surgical and other procedures) were used to obtain service distribution using statistical analysis methods. Modular simulation objects and data distributions from real hospitals allowed us to build an integrated simulation model with several configurations of the process flow. Simulation experiments were performed on these models and performance recorded. The recommendation for implementations in the hospitals is also reported.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anesthesia Outside of the Operating Room is a comprehensive, up-to-date textbook that covers all aspects of anesthesia care in OOR settings, from financial considerations to anesthetic techniques to quality assurance. With increasing numbers of procedures such as cardiac catheterization and imaging taking place outside of the main OR, anesthesia providers as well as non-anesthesia members of the patient care team will find this book critical to their understanding of the principles of anesthesia care in unique settings which may have limited physical resources. Topics include patient monitoring techniques, pre-procedure evaluation and post-procedure care, and procedural sedation performed by non-anesthesia providers. The authors address problems of anesthesia that have unique answers in OOR settings, such as patient transport and cardiac arrest, and discuss technological progress and considerations for the future. The text also covers surgical procedures and anesthetic considerations by procedure location, such as radiology, infertility clinics, field and military environments, and pediatric settings, among many others Select guidelines from the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) are provided as well. Edited by the senior faculty from Harvard Medical School and with contributions from other academic institutions, Anesthesia Outside of the Operating Room provides a unique and convenient compendium of expertise and experience.
