Patient safety concerns in the Neurosurgery Operating Rooms (OR) are believed by the team members to be caused by numerous daily schedule changes and communication challenges. A Lean process Rapid Improvement Event was conducted where the process of surgical scheduling was identified as an opportunity for improvement. This disruption in the planned surgical/interventional radiology schedule stresses the systems by providing less time to adequately prepare for the newly posted case. This in turn, may compromises patient safety. In the neurosurgery patient population of a large tertiary acute care community hospital, the creation of evidence based classification, definitions and guidelines to the process of scheduling elective, urgent, and emergency (emergent) neurosurgical patients improved patient safety, OR utilization, and thus improve overall quality of services provided.
