Does anyone know where I can find on average the amount of surgereies a hosptial does/day.

 I am interning at a large level trauma center and am trying to determine for a hospital our size if we are doing alot of surgeries or if we are below average.

 

Thank you,

 

Alex

The Resource Center of the American Hospital Association might be a good place to look. Here's a link to their site:

You can also call the Resource Center at (312) 422-2050.

Check with your Quality Dept and see what National data bases they subscribe to.  A National data base would be the best way to compare your operations to like organizations.
