Looking to increase efficiency in your operating rooms? Read about how healthcare analytics could be your key to success.
Consider the following statistics from Becker's ASC Review:
It should not be a surprise that many hospital ORs do not operate at the highest level of efficiency. Producing the desired outcomes with minimum waste of time, effort and skill is often the biggest challenge perioperative service areas face in the hospital. Surgeons, nurses and staff are busy tending to patients and have to coordinate with other physicians and clinicians to schedule time in the OR. Hospital administrators and leadership are often looking for ways to improve efficiency and increase revenue through their organization’s ORs. Just as healthcare analytics bring focused data to other areas of a healthcare organization, they can (and should), be applied to optimize performance in the OR.
Some healthcare providers utilize an OR dashboard to help identify areas for efficiency improvements in their OR and allow surgical teams to focus more fully on the patient. These dashboards help clinicians and administrators make more informed decisions on how to allocate resources, enhance communication between staff members and highlight OR-specific metrics including on-time case starts, room turnover time and block utilization.
For example, analytics tools can help operational leaders identify highest and lowest demand on staff by time of day, day of week and procedure. Those kinds of insights allow leadership to accurately gauge the staff needed throughout the week for optimal staffing leading to efficiency and bottom line savings.
