Abstract (type = abstract)
Purpose: Operational cancellations have placed a significant burden on healthcare providers. This study aims at performing an analysis of findings with regards to the outcomes from a practice change at the Northern New Jersey Healthcare System (NNJHS) in terms of the volume of cancellations, delays, operating room (OR) lag time exceeding target threshold and inefficient OR utilization. This was with the aim of providing recommendations to improve the current perioperative surgical home (PSH) model.
Methodology: PSH program evaluation was undertaken using a retrospective chart review of the compare the before and after records to evaluate the anticipated outcomes of a PSH model. The two study groups were sourced from two sequential periods between the first six months of 2017 and 2018. Tests of significance was assessed with McNemar chi-square tests with the level of significance set at 95% confidence interval (p value <0.05).
Results: The overall cancellation rate in NNJHS dropped by 2.0% while the OR lag-time and first case on time starts increased by 14% and 3%. The OR utilization rate decreased by 5.3% following the implementation of the PSH model. Cancellations due to environmental and patient-related issues increased by 3.8% and 8.8% (p value <0.001). Cancellation due to health status dropped from 32.2% in 2017 to 24.7% in 2018 (p value <0.001).
Implications for Practice: The economic cost benefits of PSH model will help improve OR inefficiencies by decreasing overall cancellations and utilization rate. The financial benefits will help decrease hospital costs and increase workflow efficiency. The policy implication is when benchmarks set by the National Surgery Office (NSO) have not been reached resulting in a performance improvement plan or potential termination of employment.
