Strengthening operating room leadership, improving processes and implementing a perioperative sales function can increase OR financial performance by seven figures, according to a case study by Surgical Directions.
A 243-bed community hospital originally had under-performing perioperative services, stagnant OR volume, low patient satisfaction and quality issues. To correct these problems, Surgical Directions instituted a collaborative OR governance model, strengthened OR management, recruited new anesthesia, changed OR processes and implemented a perioperative sales function with defined strategy, plan and tactics, according to the release.
These changes resulted in improved surgeon satisfaction, a 16 percent increase in OR volume within 10 months and a seven-figure increase in OR financial performance.
