Problem Statement

Scope of Problem Patients are transported from Inpatient areas to the operating room for surgery. Delay in this process is common. Prevalence: 20 percent of transports are associated with delay. 50% of theses delays are associated with patient location. Impact: Significant. About 100 cases / month are associated with delays secondary to location of the patient. Mean delay was 30 minutes. At $3000/ hour this would account for lost revenue of about $150,000.


Setting Operating Room

Aims Real time tracking of the patient will reduce delays, improve efficiency and reduce lost revenues.

Specific Goal 95% improvement in patient tracking between Inpatient areas and operating room would significantly improve efficiency and improve productivity.
