| Popis: | Several delays arise when bronchoscopy and endoscopy procedures are scheduled in the same room. Turnover time, workflow, and technician and/or anaesthesia availability all play a role in the length of stay of a patient for this same-day procedure. A planned procedure is elective and should be lucrative for a patient, their families, and staff. This quality improvement initiative aimed at improving bronchoscopy workflow with hopes of significantly decreasing admission to discharge time for the patients. Satisfaction surveys and post-discharge follow-ups were conducted parallel to this quality initiative. Analysis of the data identified potential areas for future endeavors aimed at decreasing hospital costs with improved patient satisfaction and goals of improving the fellows experience at a teaching institution. |
