Detailed Description
Since January 2020, some 1050 admission-days have been accountable to Type II SCF with a mean stay of 1.2 days (SD 0.52) in this institution. However, some patients spend more than 48-hours in-house awaiting surgery, often with two periods of fasting greater than 8-hours imposed, due to competing interests with higher priority cases on the OR's shared add-on board. These patients occupy a hospital bed at a time when resources are severely depleted. The COVID pandemic has enforced many stressors on healthcare across Ontario and one mitigation for same was the diversion of pediatric admissions from surrounding community hospitals to HSC to create 'extra beds' for acute adult admissions in the community. This diversion has imposed significant bed-demands on HSC and with COVID-related admission rates in the community decreasing it has proved difficult to re-route routine pediatric admissions (such as SCF) to the community. This institution's Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) has been operating above capacity for some time now leading to 'controlled slowdowns' in elective operative procedures, resulting in months of cancellation of some 40-75% of elective pediatric surgery.
This institution's PROSPR program delivered standardization of opioid prescribing at hospital discharge post pediatric SCF repair. Since 2021 the investigators decreased overprescribing of opioids to SCF patients at hospital discharge to the tune of 360%. This work has also created pathways for safe return and disposal which decreased MME amount of opioid lost to follow-up in the community by over 500%. The investigators also demonstrated that home consumption of morphine is so low that it is feasible to completely remove opioid prescribing from pediatric SCF discharge planning which opens the possibility of managing surgical scheduling on an out-patient basis whererby families will derive increased satisfaction from being able to wait at home for surgery.
