Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Surgical Operations
  • Hospital Administration

Context:

  • Current surgical departments often lack centralized patient management systems.
  • This deficiency impacts coordination of admissions, diagnostics, and surgical procedures.
  • Existing resource allocation is often suboptimal due to fragmented management.

Purpose:

  • To introduce a fundamental concept for central patient management within a surgical university department.
  • To address the need for improved patient-oriented medicine.
  • To prepare for the implementation of diagnosis-related groups (DRGs).

Summary:

  • Proposes a central patient management system to coordinate all patient-related activities in surgical departments.
  • Aims to optimize the use of hospital resources, including operating rooms and beds.
