Improving First Case Start Times Using Lean in an Academic Medical Center

Abstract Background Lean is a process improvement strategy that can improve efficiency of the peri-operative process. The purpose of this study was to identify etiologies of late surgery start times, implement Lean interventions, and analyze their effects. Methods A retrospective review of all first...

description Abstract Background Lean is a process improvement strategy that can improve efficiency of the peri-operative process. The purpose of this study was to identify etiologies of late surgery start times, implement Lean interventions, and analyze their effects. Methods A retrospective review of all first-start surgery cases was performed. Lean was implemented in May 2015, and cases seven months before and after implementation were analyzed. Results A total of 4,492 first-start cases were included; 2,181 were pre-Lean and 2,311 were post-Lean. The post-Lean group had significantly higher on-time starts than the pre-Lean group (69.0% vs. 57.0%, p

The post-Lean group had significantly higher on-time starts than the pre-Lean group (69.0% vs. 57.0%, p&lt;0.01). The most common delay etiology was surgeon-related for both groups. Delayed post-Lean cases were significantly less likely to be due to pre-operative assessment (14.9% vs. 9.9%, p&lt;0.01), and more likely due to patient-related (16.5% vs. 22.3%, p&lt;0.01) or chaplain (1.8% vs. 4.0%, p&lt;0.01) factors. Delayed starts occurred more often on snowy and cold days, and less often on didactic days (p&lt;0.01).
