Summary
Safely resuming elective surgeries requires balancing patient risks, provider safety, and community health. Decisions involve surgeons, patients, and hospital capacity, considering infection control and staff well-being.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Management
- Public Health Policy
- Surgical Operations
Background:
- Elective surgeries were widely halted to curb COVID-19 spread.
- Resuming these procedures necessitates careful risk-benefit analysis for all involved parties.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze diverse stakeholder perspectives on safely restarting elective surgeries post-pandemic.
- To identify key considerations for balancing risks and benefits to patients, providers, and communities.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of diverse stakeholder viewpoints.
- Qualitative assessment of risk-benefit trade-offs in surgical scheduling and resource allocation.
Main Results:
- Multiple stakeholder categories are impacted by decisions on rescheduling delayed surgeries.
- Key considerations include surgeon expertise, patient willingness, infection control, resource conservation (PPE), and staff quality of life (childcare).
- Surgical scheduling impacts hospital finances and staff employment.
Conclusions:
- Resuming elective surgeries requires a multi-faceted approach considering clinical, patient, provider, and operational factors.
- Balancing patient needs with infection prevention and resource management is crucial for safe and sustainable surgical ramp-up.
