Superpath LOS decreased significantly after the NP implementation, and has held relatively steady since Superpath Hip Replacement Avg. LOS (Feb. 2017 to May 2019) Days Avg. LOS Std.

Cost Savings of NP Implementation Avg. Cost per patient (Feb. 2017 to May 2019) NP implementation occurred Feb. 1, 2018 Pre-NP $1, 459. 88 27. 3% decrease $1, 061. 55 $1, 322. 07 Post-NP 22. 7% decrease $1, 022. 53 $1, 056. 99 36. 5% decrease $670. 70 Hip Replacement Knee Replacement Note: These numbers are based on the cost per patient day in 2019/20 FP 04. Superpath Hip Replacement 7
Thursday to Saturday Discharges have Increased Hip and Knee Discharges by Weekday (Apr. 2017 to Feb. 2019) Percentage Apr. 2017 to Jan. 2018 19% 19% Feb. 2018 to Feb. 2019 19% 17% 16% 15% 14% 13% 12% 10% 7% 6% Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun 8
There was a decrease in admit rate of the return visits w/in 30 days in the post-NP period Return Visits Admit Rate 15. 2% 8. 9% Pre-NP Post-NP 19/125 23/259 9
The top discharge diagnoses for the return visits include phlebitis and thrombophlebitis, follow-up care, and cellulitis Pre-NP (125 return visits, 696 surgeries) Post-NP (259 return visits, 1231 surgeries) 10
New team-based approach model involving the NP contributed to decreased LOS • • Optimization Clinic updates identifying potential complexity Streamlining care of minimally invasive superpath hip replacement Clinical perspective & changing practice Next steps – NP are optimizing high risk patients in Optimization clinic preop – NP seeing patients in post –op wound clinic to divert ER visits 11
