Our comprehensive OR efficiency checklist can help you assess whether or not your surgery department has the resources it needs to maximize volumes and improve OR efficiency. Review the questions below to gain a better sense of your organization’s current capabilities and areas for improvement in surgical supply cost, utilization, and OR block management.

Surgical Supply Cost and Utilization

  1. Are you identifying areas of supply cost variation at the procedure and service line level?
  2. Are you able to compare individual surgeons’ cost per case and the drivers of supply cost variation?
  3. Can you tie risk-adjusted patient outcomes to surgical supply cost per case?
  4. Does your Value Analysis team have the capability to track performance of trial products and areas of substitution?
  5. Do you have the ability to benchmark your average cost per case to a national average?
  6. Can you track price variation from surgeon to surgeon in the utilization of preference items?

OR Block Management

  1. Do you have the ability to model out potential block schedules?
  2. Can you tie block utilization back to your bottom line?
