Here are six case studies of operating room performance improvement from Surgical Directions.
1. Strengthening leadership and perioperative systems helped increase surgical volume at a 289-bed quaternary hospital by 19 percent in two years.
2. A strategic perioperative growth plan helped increase surgical volume 7 percent in six months at a 570-bed tertiary hospital.
3. Strengthening operating room leadership, improving processes and implementing a perioperative sales function increased OR financial performance by seven figures at a 243-bed community hospital.
4. Creating a perpetual inventory system at a community hospital yielded net financial improvement of $4.5 million and $2.4 million in ongoing inventory reduction savings.
5. Changing the OR structure and processes improved surgical volume 12 percent at a community hospital.
6. A 380-bed community medical center saw an increase in case volume by 29 percent and profitability by $25 million over three years after Surgical Directions established a new model of collaborative perioperative leadership, changed block scheduling rules, redesigned workflow, created anesthesia service standards and helped develop a strategic perioperative growth plan.
