Same-Day Discharge After Robotic Hysterectomy: A Resource Utilization and Quality Improvement Project.

Background: We implemented a low-cost education initiative to improve the rate of same-day discharge following hysterectomy performed for malignancy and assessed feasibility and impact on resource utilization.

Methods: Development and implementation of faculty, patient, clinical, and perioperative staff education regarding the goal of same-day discharge for patients undergoing robotic hysterectomy and staging by gynecologic oncologists was started in July 2019. Chart review of 103 patients prior to the intervention and 112 patients after the start of the intervention was completed.
