  • Excel data will be collected from a list of planned surgical procedures before the admission occurred.
  • Monthly budget data information will be share with the business office for reimbursement.
  • Cost savings would result from an appropriate length of stay admission status with the correct authorization for either observation or inpatient status.

Potential Obstacles:

  • The cost of employing a hospital surgical experienced nurse will be between $60,000 and $75,000 per year.
  • The time associated with setting up the employee to be able to work with all the insurance companies and communicating the outcome for potential denials to patients and surgeon’s staff coordinator employee. (approximately 5 hour per day).
  • The resistance of surgeons and insurance companies to comply with appropriate admission status and authorizations per cost of procedure.
