Theatres and Procedure Rooms
Newton’s approach to theatres and procedure rooms involves tackling both basic and complex procedural / process problems that reduce the quality of patient care and impede the efficient running of lists (e.g. on-the-day cancellations, late starts, reducing list over/under runs). Newton are also able to challenge the perceived constraints around theatre operation to optimise the utilisation and productivity of different resources (e.g. session timing and lengths, day case rates, treatment room usage).
Fundamental to being able to make improvements is clear performance reporting, that can be communicated to staff in a detailed and timely fashion: it allows for fact-based, prioritised problem solving. This targeted problem solving activity delivers improved care pathways and processes that are aligned with best practice and are documented as standard operating procedures.
Newton’s tools and methodologies can quickly and sustainably deliver productivity increases of 10 – 20% over 2 – 4 month timescales, with a corresponding improvement to the quality of care delivered. Typical financial benefits from these projects are in the range of £750,000 to £2 million p.a. per Trust, and can be realised via a number of routes including increased case volume, decreased volume being outsourced, cost reductions, and decreased length of stay.
