Agenda
- Introduction
- Background
- Pre-plan Assessment
- Project Design and Implementation
- Evaluation
- Conclusions
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
History
- In past, many patients were
hospitalized before surgery
- Now, many patients arrive the day
- f surgery
- Increase in overall number of
surgical patients
Average Number of Cases Per Day Per Year
50 100 150 200 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99
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
Patient Information
- Multiple phone calls to locate
patients
- Communication of status of
patient’s readiness for surgery
- Patient status information for family
members
Key Criteria
- Maintaining high OR utilization
- Patient and family satisfaction
- Efficient utilization of personnel
time
PRE-PLAN ASSESSMENT
Operating Room Management Group (ORMG)
- Chairman of Surgery
- Chairman of Anesthesiology
- Chief Information Officer
- Director of OR Nursing
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
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
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
Exceptions to Process
- Special preparatory procedures
■ Laboratory tests ■ Radiology exams ■ Radiological Procedure ■ Special anesthesiology
procedures
■ Physician Consult

Surgery Tracking Log
Training
- Training based on PC expertise
■Nurses, secretaries and receptionists
had exposure in current job
■Transporters were given basic PC skill
training first
- All had to sign competency form
- Training manual
Budget
- Contract Programmer
- Equipment
- Training materials
- Personnel Cost for Training Time

departure and the new location update
- Delays between patient’s move into
the OR from an induction room
