Direct listing for minor hand surgery improves patient care by ensuring accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatment plans. This streamlined process reduces waiting times and hospital visits, enhancing patient satisfaction.

Area of Science:

  • Hand Surgery
  • Surgical Outcomes
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Traditional referral pathways for minor hand procedures involve outpatient reviews prior to surgical listing.
  • This can lead to extended waiting times and increased hospital visits for patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a direct listing system for minor hand procedures.
  • To assess diagnostic accuracy, treatment plan appropriateness, patient acceptability, and impact on waiting times and attendance.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study conducted in a day surgery unit.
  • Hand surgeon screened general practitioner referrals directly onto the day-case waiting list.
  • Evaluated diagnostic agreement, treatment plan appropriateness, and patient satisfaction.
