IR Scheduling

We can have 30-40 cases per day every day BUT we have 2 staff MDs, 3 residents, and four rooms--CT (ours, not main CT), small C-arm, and 2 biplane rooms. My department is at a Level I trauma center/university teaching facility. Unsure of our bed capacity. We also take call nights and weekends. Most days our rear ends are on fire!!

Our area is unique we separate CT/US procedures and IR procedures. CT/US has 1 MD and 2 residents average between them is about 10-15 procedures with 8-10 outpatient and about 5 inpatients per day. In our IR dept we have 2-3 MDs on any day and we do about 15-20 outpatients and about 5-10 inpatients on any day. Plus we do call nights and weekends. We have a seperate dept for cath lab and our OR does some IR type procedures like ports, ect.

Smaller size oncology hospital here we have 2 staff [usually only one per day though] MD's and a PA we do on average about 10 a day then the add on inpatients varies. We staff 3 nurses and a lead . Days get busy often

How many nurses are in your department? We have 7, 2 for pre- post area ( 7 beds). 2 for both Angio rooms, 1 for CT & US, 1 charge and 1 float. We have 1 doc all day and one until noon. Sometimes we have a vascular surgeon as well.
