Planning in the OR and how to keep health care professionals aboard
Operating rooms (ORs) are of pivotal importance to a hospital, consuming a considerable part of its total budget. Typically, more than 60% of patients admitted to a hospital are treated in the OR. The decision to treat a patient and the timing of treatment, is often constrained by limitations in the OR capacity or in the availability of surgeons and qualified OR personnel. For this reason, and for cost containment, the planning of care, that is, planning which patient to operate on when, is crucial. Emergency procedures, large diversity in processes, dependency on limited capacity in other parts of the care process such as intensive care units, and a large number of specialties competing for limited OR facilities make planning complex. Optimizing planning in such a complicated environment requires the knowledge of health care professionals combined with basic principles of health care logistics.
Master Class Objectives
The aim of this 4 hr Master Class is to Introduce the basic principles of strategic, tactical, and operational OR planning with focus on both emergency and elective surgery is the aim of the workshop. Special attention will be paid to keeping health care professionals involved.
Outcomes for the participants
The participants are provided with practical tools how to organize OR planning processes in their own hospital on a strategic, tactical, and operational level.
Your facilitator is Dr Geert Kazemeir, MD PhD, Hepatobiliary and Transplant Surgeon,Program Leader Liver Transplantation Department of Surgery, Head of Operating Rooms Department, Director of Erasmus Health Care Logistics, Erasmus Medical Center, Erasmus University Rotterdam,

Managing Older Clients Living with Alcohol Related Brain Injury:
Mainstream aged care services are well designed to meet the physical care or basic functional needs of clients but often lack the structure to manage challenging behaviour resulting from neurobehavioural disability, and lack the specific arrangements that enable effective implementation of neurobehavioural principles.
Master Class Aims:
To facilitate the transfer of skills and knowledge gained through evaluative research into the provision of appropriate support to clients living with alcohol related brain injury (ARBI) this Master Class will provide education on the effects of long-term alcohol abuse on an older person and advise on strategies to assist service providers with managing behaviours of concern among older clients living in with an ARBI.
To improve the life quality of this often forgotten and neglected group of people by providing its participants with an understanding of their unique set of care needs and imparting the skills required to enhance the delivery of effective care and support.
