Key result
Bottleneck management in the perioperative setting involves aligned strategic decision-making, tactical planning, and operational adjustments to optimize patient care and reduce costs.
Why the study?
Bottlenecks limit maximum system output and operational flow in perioperative care, making workflow improvement a priority across healthcare settings.
Provides an overview of bottleneck management in the perioperative setting to optimize patient care and reduce costs.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Bottleneck management may aid perioperative optimization; leaves open validation in controlled studies.
Bottlenecks limit the maximum output of a system and indicate operational congestion points in process management. Bottlenecks also affect perioperative care and include dimensions such as infrastructure, architectural design and limitations, inefficient equipment and material supply chains, communication-related limitations on the flow of information, and patient- or staff-related factors. Improvement of workflow is, therefore, becoming a priority in most healthcare settings. We provide an overview of bottleneck management in the perioperative setting and introduce dimensions, including aligned strategic decision-making, tactical planning, and operational adjustments.
