Properly managing perioperative services from both a patient-flow and budget perspective affects a hospital’s entire organization. Operating room flow drives the vast majority of a medical facility’s in-patients, and ORs are the major revenue and cost centers of most hospitals. Ultimately, improving perioperative services improves a medical center’s overall flow and bottom line. Today’s OR management team must oversee multi-million-dollar budgets, meet aggressive quality and safety targets, recruit and retain employees, and drive surgeon satisfaction. In this presentation, learn how RTLS technology impacts the UCSD Medical Center’s process-improvement goals to maximize operational efficiency, as well as minimize required resources and related costs.
