This after now having picked up speed after the pandemic break. - The queues have, despite the fact that we have not had a normal surgical resource for a long period, only grown very little. If you look at the queues of patients who have waited more than 90 days, they have now clearly started to be shortened, says the operations manager for KOU (Surgery-Orthopedics-Urology) Åsa Elfving and states: - Now we have started to be able to operate in more of our operating rooms. In the halls we operate, we have a utilization rate that is constantly above 80%. That is a good number and indicates a fantastically good logistically functioning operations department! Åsa Elfving says that within the KOU business area there is really no waiting list for the reception business: - We can currently offer new visitation time to all our patients who want to come within 30 days, except those who are applying for a position on obesity surgery. It is of course very good because we have to schedule more doctors than usual for both surgery and scoping to take care of the advanced care, she concludes.
