2. C-Section Birth- See Orange Above -- basic process remains the same, C-Section requires surgery, so once mother is registered, she and baby are moved into surgical area where, with no complications, finishes out normally; with complications, may go the additional surgery or ICU route. Depending on issue, patient and mother proceed normally through chart and either discharge or additional time in ICU for baby.
3. If all mothers were electronically or pre-registered prior to coming to the hospital, the items in red would be redundant and unnecessary and the patient could skip several steps and move right to either the floor or triage:
4. Flow chart analyzation is a helpful and powerful tool to help find redundancies and ways to improve speed and processes. Bar coding the patient through a process could also find issues. There are also a number of other techniques that might be useful for the hospital:
Time and motion studies (Frederick Taylor, 2010).
Standardization studies for hospitals (Ben-Gal, 2010).
Efficiency studies (Hollingsworth, Dawson and Maniadakis, 1998)
