Abstract
Infrequent use of tools for surgical patients sequencing results in inappropriate prioritization of patients, waiting days/weeks to have their procedures. The aim of this project was to assess the proportion of peer-reviewed papers about the prioritization of elective surgical patients that would consider the prioritization of individual surgeons’ patients. OVID MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases were searched for peer-reviewed papers of studies evaluating developed and/or used tools for prioritization of surgical patients. No restriction was placed on publication date or language. Systematic review. Data were extracted into a piloted Microsoft Excel 2015 workbook. Among the 146 related papers, only one, published by a study author, used prioritization of individual surgeons’ patients. The single paper illustrated use of a prioritization tool by each of two individual orthopedic surgeons’ patients at a large teaching hospital. There is a paucity of systematic tools for the prioritization of individual surgeons’ patients. •Prioritization tools help to select surgical patients for treatment.•Prioritization tools could aid surgeons•A systematic study was performed•Only one study considered the prioritization of individual surgeons’ patients•Results provide insight for countries with fee for service compensation.
