Purpose: The purpose of this process improvement project was to introduce and evaluate the efficacy of fast-tracking ambulatory surgical patients in a community hospital.
Design: An observational pre-post design was used, in which patient data from a reference period (pre-fast-tracking) was compared with patient data collected during an implementation period (post-fast-tracking).
Methods: Anesthesia providers were trained to use a tool to assess patients for eligibility to bypass the postanesthesia care unit (PACU).
