In the current health care environment, many customary procedures, developed in an era when cost containment and market competition were not major concerns are no longer compatible with the operation of a successful surgery service. This article outlines a perioperative system that accomplishes the goals of cost containment and patient and surgeon satisfaction without sacrificing quality of care. This system entails streamlining the entire perioperative process, from the initial interface with the surgeon's office to discharge from the facility. In addition, the system eliminates unnecessary waste that remains rampant in most surgery departments, and addresses scheduling problems that limit efficiency.
在当前的医疗环境中,许多在成本控制和市场竞争并非主要关注点的时代所形成的常规程序,已不再与成功的手术服务运作相兼容。本文概述了一种围手术期系统,该系统在不牺牲护理质量的前提下,实现了成本控制以及患者和外科医生满意度的目标。这个系统需要精简整个围手术期流程,从与外科医生办公室的最初接触到从医疗机构出院。此外,该系统消除了大多数外科科室中仍然普遍存在的不必要浪费,并解决了限制效率的排班问题。
