In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on enhancing healthcare efficiency and patient satisfaction, particularly in the field of day case surgery. This presentation aims to explore strategies for improving day case surgery delivery in Hong Kong, focusing on key areas such as patient selection, preoperative assessment, intraoperative care, and postoperative management.
The evolution of day case surgery in Hong Kong public hospitals represents a significant journey characterized by innovation, adaptation, and the pursuit of enhanced healthcare delivery. In this presentation, I will review the history of day case surgery development within the context of Hong Kong's public healthcare system, explore the initial challenges faced, including infrastructure limitations, cultural perceptions, and workforce readiness, and examine the strategies employed to overcome these obstacles.
Additionally, I will present the current landscape of day case surgery in Hong Kong, including the prevalence of day procedures across different specialties, aiming to identify areas for improvement and opportunities for optimization.
Furthermore, I will highlight best practices and evidence-based interventions that can enhance the efficiency and safety of day case surgery delivery, such as the development of standardized protocols for patient selection and preoperative assessment, the implementation of enhanced recovery pathways, and the utilization of novel surgical techniques to reduce operative time and enhance recovery.
Importantly, I will also address the challenges and barriers that healthcare providers may face in implementing changes to improve day case surgery delivery.
In conclusion, this presentation will discuss the potential impact of improving day case surgery delivery on healthcare outcomes, patient satisfaction, and healthcare system efficiency in Hong Kong. By optimizing the delivery of day case surgery services, we aim to enhance patient access to timely and cost-effective surgical care while maintaining high standards of safety and quality.
