The problem was identified after reoccurrence of same-day cancellations and/or unplanned admissions for preventable and non-preventable factors. The plan is to identify same-day cancelation and unplanned admission trends by implementing a data tracking tool followed by implementing or revising current practices to reduce those rates which will optimize unit utilization and decrease delays in patient care.}, url = {http://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8540}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/vt150k099}, }
