Overview

Audit reveals 76% day-case surgeries in elective procedures, highlighting compliance with GIRFT guidelines.

Key Points

  • 76% of patients were successfully discharged as day cases, demonstrating effective surgical management.
  • Out of 55 cases, only 24% required inpatient admission, with 93% of those being unplanned after surgery.
  • Factors contributing to unplanned admissions primarily included surgical complications and postoperative issues.
  • Results suggest ongoing adherence to GIRFT guidelines could enhance surgical outcomes further.
