Maximizing Efficiency in the Operating Room for Total Joint Artroplasty.
Developing a high-efficiency operating room (OR) is both a challenging and rewarding goal for any healthcare system. The OR is traditionally a high-cost/high-revenue environment and operative efficacy has been correlated with low complication rates and surgical success. An efficient OR is one that maximizes utilization while providing safe, reproducible, cost-effective, high-quality care. Total...
متن کاملDoor Opening Affects Operating Room Pressure During Joint Arthroplasty.
Many resources are expended to ensure a sterile operating room environment. Efforts are made to prevent exposure of patients to personnel and to achieve positive room pressure to keep out airborne contaminants. Foot traffic into and out of the operating room during surgery can undermine these efforts. The authors investigated the number and duration of operating room door openings during hip an...
متن کاملOutcomes of total joint arthroplasty in academic versus community hospitals.
BACKGROUND Most joint-replacement surgeries are currently performed in community hospitals. We sought to determine whether the functional outcomes of joint-replacement surgery differ between academic and community hospitals. METHODS We surveyed 471 patients for demographic data, Western Ontario McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores and Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 (S...
متن کاملTranexamic Acid in Total Joint Arthroplasty: Efficacy and Safety
Despite improvements in surgical and anesthetic techniques, total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is still associated with substantial blood loss and postoperative anemia (1). A considerable portion of patients with postoperative anemia require blood transfusion, which has been shown to negatively affect the outcome of TJA and predisposes patients to development of surgical site infection and peripr...
متن کاملDeveloping an Efficiency Based Target Setting Model for K-Stage Serial tructures
DEA as an effective approach to evaluate the relative efficiency of DMUs, recently applied in many production and operation systems. This paper proposed a new k-stage DEA based MOLP model for target setting in the serial network structures, considering undesirable outputs. Since the proposed model takes the size of DMUs into account, the new idea ensures the possibility of the results. The resu...
