  "abstract": "<p>Background: Elective surgical case cancellation refers to any elective surgical case that is booked<br>\ninto the operation theatre list on the day prior to surgery, but is not operated upon as<br>\nscheduled. Elective surgical case cancellation is common and can have significant adverse effects.<br>\nThe cancellation of planned surgeries causes prolonged wait times, harm to patients, and is a waste of<br>\nscarce resources. Reasons for cancellations are complex because they are related to patients,<br>\norganizational issues, and clinical staff.<br>\nObjective: -To Assess the frequency, to identify reasons for cancellation and to intervening<br>\npotentially avoidable causes of cancellation and observe the impacts of intervention made in St. peter<br>\nspecialized hospital.<br>\nMethods: -The study took place at St. peter specialized hospital. This is a pre and post intervention<br>\nstudy from February1/2010 to May 30/2010 E.C. All adult patients that underwent elective surgery in<br>\noperation room with in the study period were including. Total number of cancellations as well as<br>\ncause of cancellation was noted.<br>\nImplementation: The most feasible intervention was addressing reasons of cancellation due to<br>\nshortage of OR material (Guan, cape, drape).<br>\nResult: -At Pre intervention period highly cancellation caused by shortage of surgical material (guan,<br>\nCape &amp; drape). Plan was purchased each 100 of OR guan, drape &amp; cape. Now all are ready for work.<br>\nConclusion: Cancellation of surgeries is significant problem in this hospital .Reasons for cancellation<br>\nidentified was four categories. Whereas only one was selected for intervention in these study after<br>\ntaking impact, feasibility, cost effectiveness, time constraints into consideration. The highest present<br>\nfor reasons for cancellation were seen due to shortage of operation room material in pre-intervention<br>\nperiod.</p>",
