New NAPA Whitepaper Provides Tips on Creating a High Performing Operating Room

Melville, NY, August 18, 2011 - North American Partners in Anesthesia (NAPA), the largest anesthesia management company in the United States, recently published a whitepaper that delivers hospital executives and administrators a comprehensive look on how to improve Operating Room efficiencies through building a solid perioperative infrastructure. 

The whitepaper titled “Effective Perioperative Leadership: The Driving Force in Creating a High Performing OR” provides best practices in perioperative leadership and goes on to give an in-depth look into the process of improving the performance of your organization’s OR suite through six steps:

1.       Conduct a Three Part Situation Assessment
2.       Analyze and Benchmark
3.       Set Goals in Sync with Hospital Needs
4.       Develop an Action Plan
5.       Implement your Action Plan
6.       Monitor Progress and Reassess

In addition, the inclusion of a case study on The Brooklyn Hospital Center, a 464 bed hospital in New York City, showcases how these practices have been put to the test and relays the results that significantly benefited the hospital’s overall mission – to provide services that improve the hospital’s overall case volume and revenue while continuing to deliver the highest quality of patient care.  

“With demand in surgical services growing, healthcare organizations are looking for techniques to gain new efficiencies and reduce costs,” says Timothy J. Dowd, MD, Managing Partner of NAPA and CEO of NAPA Management Services Corporation.  “As hospitals dig deeper into the operations of their OR suite, there may be evidence of substantial opportunities for improvement.  Areas such as gaps in organizational data, lack of consistent standards in care, and ineffective use of personnel and other resources due to poor scheduling—all negatively affect the bottom line.  In order to tackle these issues and ensure success, it is important to focus on the core or foundation of OR management, its leadership.”
