Appendix H: Pilot Analysis - Hours Breakdown
Board X
Notes
Times are in hours.
Analysis based on the period 1st February 2006 to 30th April 2006, elective sessions only.
Available hours is a theoretical maximum based on two 3.5 hours sessions per weekday for the above period for all significant theatre loci (children's theatre, dental theatre, DSU procedure rooms, DSU theatres, gynaecology theatres, maternity theatres, main theatres and endoscopy room).
Procedural time is defined as into anaesthetic to into recovery. It is therefore possible for turnover time (the difference between actual time and procedural time) to be negative - next patient goes into anaesthetic before the previous one goes into recovery.
An over-run is a session where the actual duration exceeded the planned duration (irrespective of planned and actual start and end times), similarly an under-run is a session where the actual duration is less than the planned duration.
