Turnover Time Issues • Surgical Turnover Time • Defining Turnover Time- Last Staple to Incision • Hospital Turnover Time • Patient exiting room and next patient entering room • Ways to alleviate or decrease the turnover time • Anesthesia- Pre-op holding Area vs In room • Anesthesia Administered in Prep-op Holding • Patient in room and positioned immediately- no delays • Anesthesia Administered in the OR • 20 min for Hip • 30 min for Knees • Additional Time to the turnover $$$$ • Turnover Time : Hospital Surgical • One Room/no Pre-op 20 min 1 hr • One Room/Pre-op 20 min 45 min • Two Rooms/no Pre-op -20 min(ptalready in2nd room) 10-15 min • Two Rooms/Pre-op -30 min(pt. already in 2nd room) 5-10 min

Greeting patients in Pre-Op Admission @ 7:00am Confirming laboratory results and signing operative consent
2nd Case- Total Knee Arthroplasty room setup @ 7:30am 2nd Case- TKA patient receiving Femoral Nerve Block w/catheter @ 7:30am
1st Case instruments removed Prior to completion of procedure
2nd case completed @ 9:15 am 2nd room cleaned by 9:25am
2nd Case closing-completed @ 9:15 am 3rd Case in room @ 9:00am
Case 3 following patient confirmation, correct side confirmation And preliminary completion of post-operative orders
Conclusions The most efficient is two rooms with a pre-op holding area The least efficient is one room without pre-op holding Reduction in Turnover Time (surgical turnover time!) • Early Admission for Same-Day Lab Work, • i.e. PT/PTT, Bleeding time, Platelet count, EKG, etc.. • Pre-op Anesthesia Evaluation-24-48 hrs prior to admission • First Case with shortest time for Anestetic Administration • i.e. THA rather that TKA • Use of Pre printed templates (orders, post-op notes) • Immediate Post operative dictation • Clearance of all instruments and trial component during wound closure • Availability of Multiple instrument sets • Cooperation of OR personnel to initiate room cleaning as patient is transported from room
