Key performance indicators can help ASCs measure how their anesthesia provider's performance measures up, according to Alpharetta, Ga.-based Surgical Information Systems.
Three KPIs to track:
1. Normothermia. This KPI tracks whether a patient's temperature is out of the normal range.
2. Postoperative nausea and vomiting. Examining this KPI and decreasing it over time ensures patients will have a better experience following surgery.
3. Medication administration. Factors affecting surgical outcomes can be analyzed using medication administration data.
