Presentation topic: Improving Perioperative Workflow

Topic overview: The perioperative department is one of the most significant departments in the hospital. For example, 70% of all revenues and 40% of the entire budget is represented by this department in most hospitals. Also, workflow issues in the OR don’t just affect this one department; they affect the entire hospital. Most importantly, surgeons prefer to work in hospitals with perioperative departments that run smoothly, and hospital executives are extremely focused on attracting and retaining surgeons.

This session will address and cover the following:
How barriers to perioperative work flow and workflow improvements in the perioperative department affect a hospital’s bottom line and overall patient outcomes
Best practices in perioperative scheduling, patient flow, material management, and asset tracking
Using perioperative specific analytics to find and fix work flow problems
Other ways technology can help improve perioperative work flow
