Reduced length of stay by implementation of a clinical pathway for bariatric surgery in an academic health care center.
Bariatric surgery is being performed in increasing numbers in an era when reimbursements are being reduced. Academic health centers bear the responsibility for training surgeons to perform these operations yet must keep costs to a minimum and retain high quality. The UCLA Bariatric Surgery Program developed a clinical pathway for the pre- and postoperative management for gastric bypass patients...
متن کاملReduced length of hospital stay in colorectal surgery after implementation of an enhanced recovery protocol.
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multimodal approach to perioperative care that combines a range of interventions to enable early mobilization and feeding after surgery. We investigated the feasibility, clinical effectiveness, and cost savings of an ERAS program at a major U. S. teaching hospital. METHODS Data were collected from consecutive patients undergoing open or l...
متن کاملImpact of critical pathway implementation on hospital stay and costs in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy
BACKGROUNDS/AIMS Recent studies have shown that pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) can be performed quite safely. Critical pathway (CP) has been one of the key tools used to achieve excellent outcomes in high-quality, high-volume centers. This study was designed to evaluate the impact of CP implementation for PD patients. METHODS The important components of CP for PD patients include the early star...
متن کاملDetermining Factors Influencing Length of Stay and Predicting Length of Stay Using Data Mining in the General Surgery Department
Background: Length of stay is one of the most important indicators in assessing hospital performance. A shorter stay can reduce the costs per discharge and shift care from inpatient to less expensive post-acute settings. It can lead to a greater readmission rate, better resource management, and more efficient services. Objective: This study aimed to ident...
متن کاملThe Impact of an Increased Application of Critical Pathway for Gastrectomy on the Length of Stay and Cost
PURPOSE We developed a standardized critical pathway for gastric cancer surgery and then determined the increase of application, which resulted in an improvement in terms of measurable indices, such as hospital stay and cost. MATERIALS AND METHODS A critical pathway was revised and used widely from the 2nd quarter of 2009. We collected clinical data, such as length of stay and complication ra...
