{ "description": "<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 & drape). Plan was purchased each 100 of OR guan, drape & 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>", "license": "http://www.opendefinition.org/licenses/cc-by", "creator": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "SAMUEL ASSEFA" } ], "headline": "MAXIMIZE OPERATING ROOM CAPACITY BY INTERVENINIG AN AVOIDABLE CANCELATION AT ST .PETER SPRCIALIZED HOSPITAL", "image": "https://zenodo.org/static/img/logos/zenodo-gradient-round.svg", "datePublished": "2018-06-01", "url": "https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/record/4318", "@context": "https://schema.org/", "identifier": "https://doi.org/10.20372/nadre:4318", "@id": "https://doi.org/10.20372/nadre:4318", "@type": "ScholarlyArticle", "name": "MAXIMIZE OPERATING ROOM CAPACITY BY INTERVENINIG AN AVOIDABLE CANCELATION AT ST .PETER SPRCIALIZED HOSPITAL" }
