Enhancing Patient-Centered Flow in Pre-Op and PACU Units: Strategies for Improved Efficiency

This document outlines strategies to optimize patient-centered flow in Pre-Op Holding and PACU Units during and after operating hours. It discusses setting standard activity times, managing decreased resources, and the importance of linking with other SIP teams (SIP 1 and SIP 2). Key issues include ensuring complete patient and supply preparations and addressing different timelines and resource challenges. A series of critical questions for oversight teams are presented to identify gaps and explore process breakdowns for achieving desired outcomes in patient flow.

  1. SIP 3

  2. Patient Centered Flow Pre-Op Holding Main(before 5 pm) OR PACU Unit/Home Pre-Op OR Pavilion PACU Unit/Home Holding OR Main (after 5 pm) PACU Unit/Home

  3. Flow

  4. SIP 3 Issue Samples • Setting standard times for each activity • How do we work with decreased resources • Elastic variables (e.g. Start and finish times)

  5. How do we link with the other SIP teams? • SIP 1: • Assumption that all patient and supply preparation and procedure information will be complete • SIP 2: • Similar processes to get the patient to the OR with different timelines and resource issues

  6. Patient Centered Flow Pre-Op Holding 60 min Main(before 5 pm) OR 60 min PACU 210 min Unit/Home 120 min Pre-Op OR 60 min Pavilion PACU 110 min Unit/Home 90 min Holding OR 60 min Main (after 5 pm) PACU 210 min Unit/Home 120 min

  7. Questions to Oversight Team • Have we missed any steps? • Have we missed any issues or complicating factors? • Are there other ways to breakdown the process (Main, Pavilion, Main – after hours) to get SIP 3 to the desired outcome? • Any suggestions?
