Expedite Elective Surgeries and Procedures Post-COVID-19
16 April, 2020
It will be critical to efficiently resolve the backlog of elective surgeries and procedures to expedite patient care as we transition to the next phase of this COVID-19 era. GE Healthcare is helping health systems work differently to accommodate backlog and new cases, maximize short-term revenue and reduce the need for extended operational hours and resources.

Scenario Planning Process Using Constraint-Based Modeling
Step 1: Collect Data
GE requests de-identified data & provides secure transfer mechanism
- Procedural Areas: OR, Cath/EP, GI, Imaging (IR, MRI, CT, Mammography, Other)
- Inpatient: ADT, Bed Master
- Block Schedule
- Identified Backlog of Cases
- Elective Schedule: Date suspended / Anticipated start
Step 2: Qualitative & Quantitative Analyses
Week 1: Data analysis to determine maximum efficiency of schedule and downstream effects on recovery & inpatient beds. Determine appropriate units to target care for COVID-19 patients. Phone interviews with key stakeholders.
Week 2: Review Initial Outcomes / Triage with key stakeholders (What if we did this? Or that?) / Refine Schedule / Finalize
Step 3: Deliverable
Two Weeks from Data Receipt
Quantitative Assessment / General Recommendations / Ramp-up Scenarios with estimated time impact on
IP bed capacity.
- Return to Previous Schedule
- Additional OR / Procedural Hours (extended hours)
- Optimized Schedule
- General recommendations to get “back to normal” such as Risk Stratification, Bed Plan Adjustments, etc.
