Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly established hospitalist procedure service on length of stay and procedural outcomes.
  • Retrospective analysis of patients treated under the new hospitalist procedure service.
  • Propensity-matched design to compare outcomes before and after the service establishment.
  • Assessment of length of stay and procedural delays as primary outcomes.
  • Significant reduction in length of stay (LOS) observed after implementing the procedure service.
  • Reduction in procedural delays without compromising patient safety found.
  • Improved efficiency in hospital operations indicated by the findings.

Abstract

A newly created hospitalist procedure service, staffed by clinicians with limited procedural experience, significantly reduced LOS and procedural delays without compromising safety. Findings suggest that expanding procedural capacity and reducing time-to-procedure is an effective strategy to improve efficiency and throughput in hospitals where IR-based workflows create bottlenecks.
