Hospital teamwork could cut cataract surgery delays
NCT ID NCT07484659
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether improving how hospital wards and operating rooms work together can reduce waiting times for cataract surgery. Researchers will observe 360 patients aged 20 and older at a single eye hospital, track delays and errors, then test new procedures to see if they help. The goal is to make surgery faster and smoother for patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for ward-OT coordination
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to shorter waiting times for cataract surgery patients by improving hospital workflow.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study at a single hospital, so results may not apply elsewhere. The intervention is based on observations and may not reduce delays as expected.
