At one 850-bed trauma center, the anesthesia chief diagnosed serious perioperative issues:
- high case cancellations
- delays due to poor patient readiness
- increased readmissions
- high surgeon dissatisfaction
While the perioperative surgical home (PSH) concept is not new, it takes a focused leader to achieve powerful results. Coordinating all areas of the surgical services continuum, this hospital:
- eliminated readmission penalties
- improved perioperative collaboration
- decreased operational costs
- enhanced patient outcomes
Leo Penzi, MD, NAPA EVP & Chief Medical Officer, outlines how this replicable PSH story creates economic value.
