Restoring Your Elective Surgery Post COVID-19 Wednesday, May 6, 2020 | 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. ET Amid the coronavirus outbreak, most hospitals are cancelling or postponing elective surgeries. Addressing the large backlog to restore elective surgery caseload is a top post-pandemic priority of OR leaders. This will require careful planning and execution in the coming weeks and months to identify the backlog, manage block versus open time, open more time to perform more cases, and accommodate the pent-up volume given each hospital’s available resources (rooms, staffing, locations). Join us for this free webinar as industry experts provide a set of tools and a step-by-step approach as part of a model for successfully managing and restoring elective surgery caseload. Attendees will learn how to access the model for use at their institutions and be able to ask questions following the presentation.

Learning Objectives

Understand how to estimate backlog, including how long it will take for the hospital to address it.
Describe methods to create more open time in ORs, ASCs, procedure rooms/endoscopy suites, and clinics.
Identify approaches to distributing cases during normal and extended business hours as well as on weekends.
Discuss how to formulate an elective surgery caseload action plan for implementation over the next few weeks and months.
