- W2527787002 abstract "The latest government targets state that by the end of 2005 the maximum waiting time for an outpatient appointment will be 3 months. These recommendations will not only increase the size of the outpatient clinics, but also the resources required thereafter. The purpose of this study was to analyse the outcome of new knee referrals to one consultant’s knee outpatient service in order to quantify the resources required to investigate and treat these patients. All new patients attending one consultant’s knee out-patient service in the time period January 1st 1997 to December 31st 1997 were prospectively entered into a database recording patient details, source of referral and provisional diagnosis. Eighteen months after the time period a cohort of 200 patients was randomly selected and the notes were analysed retrospectively. The number of outpatient appointment episodes (OPAs), MRI scans, physiotherapy referrals and surgical episodes generated were recorded for each patient. Analysis of the initial database records show that a total of 662 new knee referrals were seen in 1997. 52% (341) were made up of the five most common diagnoses, these being osteoarthritis, anterior knee pain, major anterior cruciate ligament injury, medial ligament injury and medial meniscus injury. Retrospective analysis of the 200 patient notes revealed that these patients required a total of 511 OPAs, 38 MRI scans, 178 courses of physiotherapy and 93 surgical episodes (53 elective and 40 daycase/emergency). These figures can be extrapolated to account for the total number of patients seen: The resource implications of a new knee referral are substantial. Extra resources must accompany each new patient, otherwise, although government targets will be reached the time taken to complete each patient’s treatment will become longer. It is imperative that before an agreement is made to see new patients the resources required to manage them are in place." @default.
