Improved case throughput at the Yorkshire Heart Centre

Using CareCube to plan, run, analyse and track service improvements within their 6-lab centre, the team at Leeds have delivered some spectacular productivity gains.

Working in conjunction with Philips and CareCube, the results are impressive:

• First case on-time starts increased by 40%

• Reduced turnaround times and improved lab utilisation by 40%

• Case volumes/throughput increases of 20%, supporting reduced patient waits

As Andy Hogarth (EP Cardiologist and Cath Lab Director) said:

“Being able to have real time visibility on our cath lab through-put is a game changer for efficiency of scheduling... and being empowered to drill into data to measure efficiency improvements is a massive positive; we've already been able to congratulate our teams on improvements implemented by themselves in a measurable way - they can see the change their efforts make and how this really makes a difference for patients.”
