Deformational plagiocephaly multi-group outpatient clinics reduce referral to visit times and visit length
Objective
Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is a well-recognized condition, affecting up to 20% of all babies. Its prevalence lead centers worldwide to create multi-group clinics and incorporate technology to decrease repetitive counselling, save clinic hours and shorten waiting times.
This paper describes the modalities incorporated in our craniofacial clinic since 2016 and their effect on our patient population.
Methods
Data were collected retrospectively between November 2016 and September 2022 and prospectively between April and May of 2024. This period was divided into eight bimesters constituting several different clinic modalities. Data included the number of patients, no-shows, referral to visit times (RVT), visit length (VL), satisfaction rates, and demographics of all patients visiting our clinic and those referred specifically for DP.
Results
A total of 1794 patients, reviewed retrospectively, were included, 202 were referred for DP. Mean RVT was 38.5 days for all patients. For DP patients, mean RVTs were (according to bimesters): 107 days (older triage system), 59 days (newer system, new monthly craniofacial clinic, additional clinic slots), 58 days (cranial orthosis program, first multi-group clinic), 52 days (online lecture), 35 days (end of Covid lockdown), 43 days (pre-recorded presentations), and 47 days (multi-group encounters). RVT decreased to 17 days in the prospective bimester, during which another 117 DP patients were seen. Mean VL averaged 22 min for the first six bimesters and then decreased to 11 and 7 min during the seventh and eighth bimesters respectively.
Conclusion
Multi-group encounters for DP are highly effective in reducing RVTs and VL.
期刊介绍:
Neurochirurgie publishes articles on treatment, teaching and research, neurosurgery training and the professional aspects of our discipline, and also the history and progress of neurosurgery. It focuses on pathologies of the head, spine and central and peripheral nervous systems and their vascularization. All aspects of the specialty are dealt with: trauma, tumor, degenerative disease, infection, vascular pathology, and radiosurgery, and pediatrics. Transversal studies are also welcome: neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neurology, neuropediatrics, psychiatry, neuropsychology, physical medicine and neurologic rehabilitation, neuro-anesthesia, neurologic intensive care, neuroradiology, functional exploration, neuropathology, neuro-ophthalmology, otoneurology, maxillofacial surgery, neuro-endocrinology and spine surgery. Technical and methodological aspects are also taken onboard: diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, methods for assessing results, epidemiology, surgical, interventional and radiological techniques, simulations and pathophysiological hypotheses, and educational tools. The editorial board may refuse submissions that fail to meet the journal''s aims and scope; such studies will not be peer-reviewed, and the editor in chief will promptly inform the corresponding author, so as not to delay submission to a more suitable journal.
With a view to attracting an international audience of both readers and writers, Neurochirurgie especially welcomes articles in English, and gives priority to original studies. Other kinds of article - reviews, case reports, technical notes and meta-analyses - are equally published.
Every year, a special edition is dedicated to the topic selected by the French Society of Neurosurgery for its annual report.
