Learning Objectives

  • Plan for a successful project by carefully defining the

scope

  • Describe the composition of a multi-disciplinary team,

its roles and responsibilities

  • Define a workflow that provides the map for re-

engineering patient tracking

  • Design measurement strategies that monitor initial

implementation and monitors ongoing compliance for continual process improvement

BACKGROUND

slide-6
SLIDE 6

History

  • In past, many patients were

hospitalized before surgery

  • Now, many patients arrive the day
  • f surgery
  • Increase in overall number of

surgical patients

Complexity of Environment

  • Three admitting sites
  • Three pre-operative nursing units
  • Sixty operating rooms in four

buildings

  • Three post anesthesia care units
  • Five intensive care units
slide-9
SLIDE 9

Patient Information

  • Multiple phone calls to locate

patients

  • Communication of status of

patient’s readiness for surgery

  • Patient status information for family

members

slide-10
SLIDE 10

Key Criteria

  • Maintaining high OR utilization
  • Patient and family satisfaction
  • Efficient utilization of personnel

time

PRE-PLAN ASSESSMENT

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Operating Room Management Group (ORMG)

  • Chairman of Surgery
  • Chairman of Anesthesiology
  • Chief Information Officer
  • Director of OR Nursing
slide-13
SLIDE 13

ORMG Key Issues

  • Delays in OR start time
  • Inefficient use of nursing personnel

to locate patients

  • Inefficient use of receptionists’ time

in locating patients

  • Family members unsure if surgery

has started

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Development of Multi-Disciplinary Team

■ OR nursing specialist ■ OR clinical analyst ■ Anesthesiology system manager ■ IT project manager ■ IT systems analyst ■ Admission/Discharge/Transfer/Registration

(ADT/R) system manager

■ Surgical waiting area administrator ■ Pre-operative supervisor

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Flow Considerations

  • Types of surgical admissions

■Already in-house (Inpatient) ■Admitted on same day as surgery

(TCI)

■Admitted and discharged on the

same day (Outpatient)

  • Special Populations

■ Pediatrics ■ Psychiatrics ■ Gastrointestinal
