BEST PRACTICE
Factors affecting Length of Stay
Pre-operative classes:
Rehabilitation (type of rehabilitation i.e. inpatient):
Day of Surgery Admission DOSA (please specify % of orthopaedic patients):
Discharge Planning services:
Pre Admission Clinic:
BEST PRACTICE
Factors affecting Length of Stay (continued)
DVT/PE screening
Clinical Pathways:
Mobilisation:
Anaesthetic protocols (general, spinal, regional, sedation etc):
Pain management:
Education - patient/carer/family (advice of LOS and expected discharge date
FACTORS AFFECTING L.O.S
PRE-ADMISSION:
Minimum two weeks before admission
Advantages:
Pre op screening of risk factors and co-morbidities
Appropriate work up of medications and necessary diagnostic tests
Avoid cancellations or adverse events during admission
Commence a pre-hab program including muscle training, strength,
endurance
Opportunity for education sessions for patient and carer (option on-line)
Discharge plans commenced and discussed with patient
Anaesthetist not having to see patient prior to surgery on the day of op
Disadvantages
Patients have to attend another day
Anaesthetists having to attend another day
Need to provide physical space to conduct the assessments
FACTORS AFFECTING L.O.S
DAY OF SURGERY ADMISSION:
Effective use of reminder calls prior to admission assist this process
Advantages:
Less time in hospital away from home, family or work for patients
Less chance of hospital acquired infection or other adverse events eg falls
Cost savings
Higher throughput opportunities from increased bed capacity
Disadvantages
Physical space requirement to admit patients to DOSA Centre
Patient and family expectations/satisfaction may not be as high
Anaesthetist has to conduct patient review if there has been no pre
admission clinic attendance
Pre op tests may not have been done
Additional movement of patient belongings to inpatient room
FACTORS AFFECTING L.O.S
DISCHARGE PLANNING:
Commence at doctors surgery, re-enforced at PAC and continued throughout hospital stay
Involvement of family in discharge planning including equipment needs and home preparation
Having and all areas working to an agreed hospital wide time of discharge
Discharge gains are more effective if discharge metrics are measured in hours not days
Advantages:
Ensures patient and family are adequately prepared for discharge expectations
More likely to achieve expected discharge date and avoid delays
Assists scheduling and resource utilisation
Improved continuity of care and outcomes for patient
Cost savings
Higher throughput opportunities from increased bed capacity
Disadvantages
Needs significant co-ordination on all related aspects eg ward rounds, diagnostic tests, pharmacy,
normalising weekends, transport, rehab etc to ensure optimal discharge timing achieved
FACTORS AFFECTING L.O.S
Early MOBILISATION:
Mobilise day of surgery – this includes sitting on the side of the bed /
standing by the bed or walking around the bed
Commence with 1 session PT on day of surgery, increasing to 3 sessions PT
on subsequent days
Advantages:
Reduced risk of DVT’s and PE’s
reduced risk of respiratory and GIT complications
Quicker recovery by patients and able to progress to a rehab program
sooner
Potential shorter length of stay
Cost savings
FACTORS AFFECTING L.O.S
ANAESTHESIA OPTIONS :
Use of spinal anaesthetic with or without regional and / or sedation for total
joint replacement rather than general anaesthetic
Use of brachial plexus blocks for upper limb procedures
Advantages:
Less time under general anaesthesia (risks) minimised effects on heart/lung
GIT tract/brain. Less fluid retention likely
Much earlier mobilisation possible on day of surgery
Reduced chance of DVT/PE
Quicker recovery
Shorter length of stay
Cost savings as less resources used
Higher throughput opportunities from increased bed capacity
Better pain management post-op
Disadvantages
Anaesthetist needs to be comfortable with the approach
FACTORS AFFECTING L.O.S
CLINICAL PATHWAYS:
Advantages:
Particularly suited to higher volume procedures
Allows standardisation and resulting efficiencies
Reduced variation
Potential higher patient satisfaction as care team offer consistency of
service
Potential shorter length of stay
Cost savings
Disadvantages
Doctors may not feel it allows individual approach for patient
FACTORS AFFECTING L.O.S
REHABILITATION:
Advantages:
Faster attainment of short term functional goals / milestones
Access to an individualised program
Higher mean Functional Independence Measures (FIM) in shorter time periods
Shorter LOS in the acute and rehabilitation facilities
Disadvantages:
Access to external rehabilitation facilities may be delayed due to bed
availability
May not be able to be followed by other specialists (ie: cardiologists)
FACTORS AFFECTING L.O.S
PAIN MANAGEMENT:
Advantages:
 Oral pain relief enables mobilisation without causing drowsiness
 Able to be specified to individual needs
 Oral medication is less invasive and makes mobilisation easier (ie: no IV poles
or lines)
Disadvantages:
 One protocol does not suit all patients
 Oral medication takes longer to reach “peak” dosage
 Needs to be monitored and tailored off
FACTORS AFFECTING L.O.S
EDUCATION:
Advantages:
 Ensures patient and family are adequately prepared for hospitalisation and
discharge expectations
 More likely to achieve expected post-operative goals and avoid delays
 Education on return to activities of living following hospital discharge
 Ensures safety whilst hospitalised and on return home following discharge (ie:
falls prevention)
Disadvantages:
 Lack of information may increase the LOS due to lack of preparedness
by both patient and family
 Education time requirements directly impact patient treatment time –
if not done pre-admission
 Additional cost
FACTORS AFFECTING L.O.S
PRE OP CLASSES:
Advantages:
 Patient undergoing a Pre-hab program will have improved muscle
strengthening and range of motion
 Functional level post-operatively is greater – early return to activity
General cardiovascular condition may be greater
Disadvantages:
 Cost
FACTORS AFFECTING L.O.S
DVT/PE SCREENING:
Risk Assessment to efficiently target patients most in need
Use of mobile dopplers rather than transfer to a lab should be assessed
Advantages:
 Need for screening could be reduced through the use of mechanical
compression devices, compression stockings, early mobilisation and anticoagulant therapy
 Allows for diagnosis and treatment
Disadvantages:
 Shown not to be useful until after Day 3 however many facilities have
discharge early than this
 Diagnosis may require intervention which potentially may impact LOS
 Additional costs of screening and transport
Key differences in current operations
utilised affecting LOS
Hospital for Special Surgery (USA) offers the most types of rehabilitation inpatient acute and subacute rehabilitation facilities,
intensive rehabilitation and
standard home rehabilitation programs,
outpatient physical therapy and
home with no services needed
Pre-admissions –
Most completed over the telephone
The Mater (Aust) provides 90% face to face
Pain Medication –
Most used a mix of oral and IV type medication
Hospital for Special Surgery (USA) focuses on medication that provides
minimum sedation, minimum weakness

Key differences in current operations
utilised affecting LOS (cont.)
Anaesthetic ProtocolsMost hospitals responded by stating that this was dependant on the type of
surgery
The Mater (Aust) stated that sedation is rarely used
The Hospital for Special Surgery (USA) stated that only regional anaesthetic
is used as much as possible
