Abstract
Opportunities for increased efficiencies can be evaluated by assessing current processes and examining the components of each step to identify adjustments for improvements within a hospital's perioperative department. General systems theory identifies dynamic relationships exist within an open system and components of the perioperative department can be categorized into input, throughput and output. This framework was used to evaluate nursing interventions concerning throughput in an ambulatory and acute care setting. A retrospective chart review utilizing post anesthesia care unit interval times was completed to determine whether preemptive oral narcotic administration impacts times and pain levels of 125 outpatient laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients in these settings.
