Average Procedure Time

Mean time from beginning of the procedure to the end, measured in minutes.

Quality Improvement Strategies:
  • Standardize pre-procedure checklists to ensure readiness and minimize delays.

  • Promote evidence-based decision-making during PCI to avoid unnecessary imaging or stent use.

  • Track and trend procedure times by operator and complexity.

  • Use time-motion studies to map inefficiencies in room preparation, turnover, and procedural flow.

  • Implement Lean Six Sigma tools to reduce "non-value added" time.

  • Provide peer comparisons and operator feedback on procedure duration.
