How many operating sessions do I need per week to manage my Elective Surgery demand?

To see how many sessions are needed to treat your patients in time, open domains and follow the click path to Surgery, Demand & Capacity, and then Trends. Select 'specialty' and 'doctor'.

SystemView sums the amount of operating time required for each patient on the waiting list, and divides this time by the length of a theatre session to work out the number of sessions required to treat all of the patients. It uses either the average operating time for that procedure, or the amount of time estimated in the booking notes to work out how much time each patient needs.
