We achieve operational excellence that integrates seamlessly with the goals for surgeon efficiency and hospital productivity. In such an environment, surgical case time requests are met with predictable start times. Redesign roles and responsibilities to consistently achieve 95% on-time starts Using the "pull" system, create an environment of patient movement and surgeon satisfaction Schedule consistent patient arrival time, registration, anesthesiologist and surgeon evaluation Track time variance on a real-time basis using predefined time stamps Align inpatient bed reservations and transportation to eliminate post-anesthesia unit congestion Q. How would you achieve 95% on-time case starts for both first and non-first case starts? Answer A. Line up the entire perioperative enterprise with pre-defined time expectations for every subprocess. "Imagine what it's like for a surgeon to know that his or her case is going to start on time, that the room is going to turn around rapidly...they can get going on their next case and you can plan your day accordingly. You can be so much more efficient." Gerard F., Vice-President
