Rooms endoscopy proc

What is an endoscopy procedure room

An endoscopy procedure room is a specialised clinical room where minimally invasive procedures are performed using an endoscope to examine, diagnose, and sometimes treat conditions inside the body.


Capacity outputs

  • ENDOSCOPY_PROC_ROOMS

Conversion archetype

  • time utilisation — FRM_TIME_UTIL

Operational constraint

  • Schedulable procedural operating time

Activity classification logic

Daycase spells with the following primary procedure codes:

  • Oesophagoscopy G14, G15, G16, G17, G18, G19, G20
  • OGD G42, G43, G44, G45, G46
  • Duodenoscopy G54, G55
  • Jejunoscopy G64, G65
  • Ileoscopy G79,G80
  • Sigmoidoscopy H23, H24, H25, H26, H27, H28, H37, H69, H70, H71
  • ERCP J38, J39, J40, J41, J42, J43, J44, J45
  • Colonoscopy H20, H21, H22, H68
  • Bronchoscopy E48, E49, E50, E51
Subgroup Classification IDs
all groups CLASS_DAYCASE, CLASS_ENDOSCOPY

Workload derivation

Primary workload object: procedure hours

\[\text{procedure hours} = \text{procedures} \times \frac{\text{procedure time minutes}} {60}\]

Capacity conversion

\[\text{required endoscopy rooms} = \frac{\text{procedure hours}} {\text{annual operational hours} \times \text{utilisation}}\]

Assumptions

Subgroup Assumption Category Assumption ID
all groups procedure time workload ENDOSCOPY_PROC_TIME
all groups utilisation operational ENDOSCOPY_PROC_UTIL
all groups annual operational hours operational ENDOSCOPY_PROC_ANNUAL_OPERATIONAL_HOURS

Known issues / limitations


Dependencies

  • Specialist endoscopy procedure activity must be excluded from the general daycase theatres capacity domain to avoid double-counting. Feeds exclusion logic for THEATRES_DAYCASE_PROC.
