Perioperative Analysis
The perioperative department is the backbone of every hospital. A well-functioning department is critical to the patient experience, physician outcomes, staff satisfaction, maintaining a sterile environment and controlling the costs of running it effectively.
Many hospitals are challenged to balance all of these elements. Our consultants work with you to identify the areas that are most challenged and design a program that addresses your most pressing needs.
What We Analyze
- Data management and workflow analysis and design
- Inventory management: inflows, outflows and associated costs
- Procedural time and cost analysis within the OR
- SPD assessment of current processes and procedures, and regulatory review
- Ongoing training and support
- Assessment of the clinical usefulness of current equipment
Signs Your Perioperative Department Needs a Review
- First cases that regularly start late, or long turnover times between cases
- Case delays caused by missing, incomplete or unavailable instrument trays
- Rising supply, implant or instrument repair costs
- Frequent overtime, staff turnover or low morale
- Findings from accreditation surveys or internal audits
Our Approach
We start by gathering your data and observing how cases flow from scheduling through the OR and sterile processing. We talk with surgeons, anesthesia, nursing and SPD staff to understand what is really happening, then analyze where time and money are being lost. You receive practical, prioritized recommendations, and we stay to support implementation and measure the results.
The Results
A well-run perioperative department makes better use of OR time, reduces delays and avoidable costs, and creates a better experience for patients, surgeons and staff.
Common Questions
What is a perioperative analysis?
A structured review of how surgical cases move from scheduling through the operating room and sterile processing, used to find where time, supplies and money are being lost.
What data do you need from us?
Typically case scheduling and timing data, supply and inventory information, instrument repair records and staffing data. We work with whatever systems you already use.
Do you help put the recommendations into practice?
Yes. We support implementation, provide training, and measure results so the improvements are sustained.
