Behovet<\/h3>\n

Ved Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust<\/a>, var et betydeligt eftersl\u00e6b i patienter, der skulle have operation for gr\u00e5 st\u00e6r, blevet fremskyndet af COVID-19-pandemien. P\u00e5 landsplan st\u00e5r mange patienter over for ventetider over et \u00e5r, og eftersp\u00f8rgslen forventes at stige med 50% i de n\u00e6ste 20 \u00e5r. The Trust at Newcastle leverer gr\u00e5 st\u00e6rtjenester til store dele af det nord\u00f8stlige England og s\u00f8gte en l\u00f8sning, der kunne hj\u00e6lpe med at \u00f8ge antallet af procedurer, de kunne udf\u00f8re, og forbedre kvaliteten af patientoplevelsen.<\/p>\n

Planen<\/h3>\n

Ved at arbejde sammen med Vanguard Healthcare Solutions udforskede Trust mange muligheder, f\u00f8r de valgte et modul\u00e6rt design til sit nye kataraktcenter. Planen var at bygge et kompleks, som ville omfatte tre procedurerum, og som skulle placeres p\u00e5 Campus for Aging and Vitality-stedet. Planen var at bruge et areal af fondens ejendom, som tidligere havde v\u00e6ret placering for en bygning, der var udg\u00e5et og revet ned.<\/p>\n

Planen var at designe et kompleks, der forbedrede patientflowet. Dette omfattede udviklingen af et envejssystem for patienter, der g\u00f8r deres rejse s\u00e5 glat som muligt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Vanguard-l\u00f8sningen<\/h3>\n

Vanguard arbejdede sammen med kliniske og andre Trust-medarbejdere, som var dybt involveret i designprocessen, som omfattede ugentlige m\u00f8der for at sikre, at rummet var optimalt til deres specifikke form\u00e5l.<\/p>\n

Denne samarbejds\u00f8velse f\u00f8rte til skabelsen af en\u00a0kompleks med tre teatre<\/a>\u00a0som var designet til at udf\u00f8re op til 1.000 gr\u00e5 st\u00e6r procedurer om m\u00e5neden. Ved siden af de tre teatre er der ogs\u00e5 to velv\u00e6reomr\u00e5der for personalet, der hj\u00e6lper med at lette social afstand samt opbevarings- og bryggers.<\/p>\n

Designarbejdet begyndte i oktober 2020 og installationen startede i begyndelsen af december 2020. Newcastle Westgate Cataract Center \u00e5bnede officielt den 6. april 2021, en samlet ekspeditionstid p\u00e5 7-8 m\u00e5neder fra id\u00e9 til \u00e5bningen af et operationelt anl\u00e6g med tre biografer. Processen blev lidt forsinket af den tredje lockdown og juleferie. Anl\u00e6gget blev installeret p\u00e5 kun 4 m\u00e5neder, en langt kortere tid end forventet for en traditionel bygning.<\/p>\n

Bygningens design og patientflow var n\u00f8glen. Patienter bliver forh\u00e5ndsvurderet, inden de bookes til proceduren, og de, der anses for at v\u00e6re h\u00f8jere risikobetonede, behandles i hovedhospitalets bygning.<\/p>\n

Patienter g\u00e5r ind i centret p\u00e5 den sydlige side af bygningen til en modtagelsesstue, bliver tjekket ind af en udpeget sygeplejerske, som bliver hos dem under hele rejsen, og g\u00e5r derefter gennem bygningen til et konsultationsrum, f\u00f8r de tages til operationsstuen til deres procedure. . De bliver derefter bragt til et opv\u00e5gningsrum, orienteret om efterbehandling af sygeplejersken, inden de g\u00e5r gennem bygningens nordside til det indrettede afhentningsomr\u00e5de udenfor.<\/p>\n

Resultatet<\/h3>\n

Det forbedrede patientflow har gjort det muligt for den gennemsnitlige tid brugt i faciliteten at falde fra 3-4 timer til mellem 45 minutter og 1 time. Enheden udf\u00f8rer op til 1000 gr\u00e5 st\u00e6r procedurer om m\u00e5neden. Fonden har modtaget en stor m\u00e6ngde positive tilbagemeldinger fra patienter og deres familier samt personale, der arbejder i bygningen. En af de matroner, der havde v\u00e6ret involveret i hele projektet, fremh\u00e6vede, at hun havde set personalet 'blomstre' i den nye bygning.<\/p>\n
