Do any of you work in outpatient surgery setting attached to a hospital? I'm looking for staffing model ideas. I work in an ambulatory surgery setting that is attached to a hospital. The preop staff get OR/ENDO patients ready and take Phase 2 recovery patients. Also, we are responsible for special procedures such as bronchs, bone marrows, and Linq monitors. How do your departments staff based on the surgical schedules? How are patient assignments made?
