Overview

A closed loop audit evaluates length of stay and imaging times in appendicitis cases, indicating improvements and digital consent adoption.

Key Points

  • Length of stay improved to 3.7 days from 4.3 days, with 14.3% of patients meeting the 2-day target.
  • Average imaging-to-operation time decreased significantly from 29.15 to 26.82 hours, highlighting process optimization.
  • Digital consent uptake increased to 98% from 78% after implementation, showing enhanced patient engagement.
  • Despite improvements, the region remains in the highest GIRFT quartile, indicating a need for continued optimization.
