Description

Goal

Our goal is to develop evidence-based guidelines that:

1. streamline the order/timing of interventions in patients who develop PUR after spine surgery
2. identify those at high-risk of long-term urinary retention that require further workup
3. minimize the rate of PUR –goal is to reduce to 3.5% in FY 2019
4. and determine the cost savings from our intervention when applied to all surgeries
