Surgical Journey Improvement Group
The 2020 Surgical Journey Improvement Group benchmarks your surgical patient's journey from admission to your hospital, through theatre, on to discharge and potential readmission.
Our exclusive reports provide deep insights into metrics including complications, national targets, theatre utilisation and waitlist to measure Access, Safety and Value.
As always, we will continue to benchmark against your Australian and New Zealand peers highlighting key insights into your facility including variation against exemplar theatres and hospitals.
Specifically, the 2020 Surgical Journey Improvement Group report KPI’s include:
- Time to theatre by Category 1,2 & 3
- Elective cancellation rates
- Procedure time
- Theatre utilisation and efficiency rates
- Wait list by Category 1,2 & 3
- Common Hospital Acquired Complications
- Length of Stay and Readmissions
- Specific high volume DRG analysis
Our unique Workshop creates collaboration and innovation sharing of best practice across Australia and New Zealand members.
After our Surgical Journey Workshop, you will have analysed your data, highlighted an opportunity, leveraged best practice and have an implementation plan ready to present to the workshop the following year.
At the Workshop you will share your innovations with other members to explain what makes you an exemplar and learn from other best practices.
The goals of the Surgical Journey Improvement Group are to:
- Improve the patient’s experience and outcomes in Theatre
