Case Volume
• Reflects total number of cases over time
• Compares inpatient to outpatient volumes
• Allows you to follow growth as well as seasonal
variation
– The following sample hospital has a decrease
in volume in August which reflects a time
when many surgeons take vacation
• Average number of cases per OR per year in best
practice ORs
– Inpatient 900 cases per OR/year
– Outpatient 1400 cases per OR/year

Case Minutes
• Reflects total number of minutes of surgery per
month.
• Also reflects growth as well as seasonal variation
• Comparison between volume and minutes helps in
determining growth patterns
– Increase in volume with a small increase in
minutes usually means a growth in smaller
cases usually outpatient
– Small increase in volume with a larger
increase in minutes usually means a growth
in longer cases usually inpatient

Case Minutes by Hour of the Day
• Allows you to look at what percentage of case
minutes are completed in each shift
• Goals
– 90% of minutes completed between 7am-3pm
– 95% of minutes completed by 5pm
• Following sample hospital graph shows a process
improvement project that started in June at 84%
completion by 3pm with increase of completion to
90% over 6 months. Processes addressed were
• Start time
• TOT
• Revision of block schedule
• Staffing levels

OR Utilization by Day of the Week
• Reflects total OR utilization on each day of the week
• The goal is to even out the utilization so there is little
variation between the days of the week
• Goal in best practice ORs is 75%-80% total OR
utilization. This allows adequate “flex” in the system
• The following sample hospital revised its block
schedule to allow better utilization of Thursdays and
Fridays

Block Utilization
• Block utilization is calculated by surgeon/service
• It is best to use adjusted utilization in order to not
penalize a surgeon for TOT
– Adjusted Utilization= total block minutes
utilized +TOT/ total block minutes available
• Goal is 75% block utilization in order to maintain
block. When decreasing blocks according to
utilization you should decrease by days of the month
not hours of the day
– Example: A surgeon w/ 50% utilization of a
block on Monday would have the block
reduced to either the 1,3,5 Monday of the
month of the 2,4 Monday

OR Start Times
• Defined as time patient enters the operating room
• Usually monitored at exact time and within 10
minutes
– Example: 0720 exact time while also
monitoring the 10 minutes later at 0730
• Goal is 90% within 10 minutes
• Sample hospital on next slide reflects a PI project
that improved start time from 65% to 85%. Issues
addressed were
– Communication between team members
– Monitoring of start times
– Communication to surgeons the importance
of on time starts by the OR committee
– Change in Preoperative Patient preparation

Average Turnover Time
• Turnover time is calculated as patient out of the
room to next patient in the room
• We usually follow same surgeon turnovers since
there is quite a bit of variability when turning over
between 2 different surgeons or services
• Goals
– Outpatient 10-20 minutes
– Inpatient 30-40 minutes
• Sample hospital slide shows a PI project that begin
in April. Issues addressed included
– Staffing Levels
– Communication between team members
– Preoperative patient workup

Overtime Staffing Minutes
• Reflects amount of overtime minutes paid to OR
staff
• Sample hospital PI project decreased overtime
minutes significantly over a 4 month period by
addressing
– On time starts
– TOT
– Staffing levels by time of the day
– Block Scheduling
• Gaps in schedule
• Overbooking.
– Example: A surgeon with an 8 hour block routinely
runs 10 hours. The block should be adjusted to 10
hours and staffing levels changed to meet this need

Cancellations
• Usually monitor same day cancellations
• Factors that impact cancellations
– Preoperative preparation including
preanesthesia testing and patient education
• Sample hospital slide shows a PI project for
preoperative preparation that included a
pre-anesthesia testing clinic, that provided not only
testing but patient education and financial
counceling/insurance verification
• Goals
– <1% for an outpatient setting
– <10% for a major trauma center

Add Ons
• Reflects adequate open/urgent time
– Open time is time available to anyone and can
be booked in advance. This accommodates
the non-blocked surgeons
– Urgent time is time available starting 24 hours
before. This accommodates many cases that
need to be done urgently but are not
emergent. Many general surgery and urgent
ortho cases fit into this category
