Operating Room On-Time Case Study
In the March/April issue of Journal of Healthcare Management, read how one hospital dramatically increased its on-time OR starts.
Many hospitals are prioritizing high on-time starts because even minor delays at the beginning of a surgery can ripple throughout an entire facility, causing additional expense at every stage. In the current JHM issue, the authors of "First Case On-Time Starts Measured by Incision On-Time and No Grace Period" detail their successful method for improving on-time starts.
The issue also features articles addressing these topics:
- The importance of ethics audits in minimizing risk.
- State expansion of Medicaid has led to substantial reductions in hospitals’ uncompensated care costs. However, has expansion resulted in payment shortfalls that offset those reductions?
- The value of culturally sensitive care and respect for culture can improve the delivery of care.
