Enhancing Operational Efficiency in Eye Care Services

Pushpagiri Vitreo Retina Institute (PVRI) based in Secunderabad is a tertiary care eye hospital providing specialty eye care services since 2007. Over 15-20 preplanned surgical/clinical procedures are conducted for patients requiring care on a daily basis. They range from simple cataract surgeries or injections to detailed specialty surgeries including Vitreo-retina, glaucoma, pediatric eye care and muscular conditions of the eye. All procedures are elective procedures and are pre-planned. The current study aims to improve hospital efficiency and reduce the total appointment time for patients. The current study aims to reduce patient overall waiting time by 15-25% by introducing simple patient identification tools to help streamline all planned procedures.
