Patients with a groin fracture or gallstones can be operated faster at Treant. No, surgeons will no longer operate in less time. The patients can go faster for their treatment than before. Treant has created the ‘Snelstraat’ for this.
The word Snelstraat may suggest that patients enter a kind of conveyor belt in the operating room. Where surgeons then perform the same actions, as a kind of living bandwork in a factory. “But we are not going to operate faster,” they emphasize within Treant. “It is true that patients are helped faster, walk around with complaints for less and the waiting lists shrink.”
It comes down to a quick street that operations are arranged differently and better. TREANT has set up fast streets in the hospitals in Hoogeveen and Stadskanaal. Only intended for interventions on groin and gallbladder, in patients without underlying suffering. “People with a condition that are not eligible for the Snelstraat follow the regular process,” says Angelica de Lorenzo, Physician Assistant at Treant.
For an operation on gallbladder or lies you will not end up on the Snelstraat as standard. For each patient, a trade -off is made by medical specialists and a digital screening list precedes, among other things. And as mentioned above, only low-risk patients are eligible for the process.
An additional advantage is that the error burden at surgeons can be reduced. They can work more based on routine. After all, it is one specific intervention, performed with the same things and colleagues. “We are developing a kind of expertise,” De Lorenzo sees. “And healthcare gets better quality.”
An operation on a fast street will be scheduled within two weeks. The first noticeable results will follow within a few months, De Lorenzo expects.
