Patient-Specific Factors Associated With Surgical Delay In A Large Academic Hospital, Natalie Meyers
Patient-Specific Factors Associated With Surgical Delay In A Large Academic Hospital, Natalie Meyers
Dissertations
The high cost of healthcare is driving the search for more efficient practice, especially in high-stakes locations like the operating room. In addition to financial losses, patients suffer physical and emotional distress, including an increased risk of morbidity or mortality when surgical cases are delayed due to inefficiency. While patient-related causes of delay have been implicated, it is unclear which specific factors are most significant. This study aimed to identify specific patient factors correlated with surgical delay and develop a predictive risk algorithm that describes the relationship between patient-specific factors and surgical delay.

Evaluating The Implementation Of A Risk Screening Tool To Decrease The Incidence Of Postoperative Nausea And Vomiting, Lauren E. Stoltzfus
Evaluating The Implementation Of A Risk Screening Tool To Decrease The Incidence Of Postoperative Nausea And Vomiting, Lauren E. Stoltzfus

Abstract
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) continues to occur despite medical advances over the years. PONV decreases patient satisfaction, can lead to postoperative complications such as dehydration and suture dehiscence, and it increases hospital costs. Evidence in the literature suggests a preoperative risk assessment screening and prophylactic antiemetic administration can decrease the incidence of PONV. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of a risk assessment tool and to determine if the tool would decrease the incidence of PONV. This quality improvement project involved collecting pre-intervention PONV data over a 6-week time period. The pre-intervention incidence was …
