What is patient origination analysis?

Patient origination analysis looks at the origins of patients who seek medical care from a hospital or healthcare facility. This intelligence breaks down where an organization’s patients are from, providing analytical context to specific populations’ care needs and choices. With patient origination intelligence, healthcare providers can better understand their patient populations, develop new services or facilities, and optimize their outreach efforts.

What is the most common surgery in the U.S.?

Surgical care can involve a wide range of procedures, from minimally invasive surgeries like laparoscopic appendectomy, to complex surgeries like lung transplants. The most common inpatient surgical procedures in U.S. hospitals in 2022 were:

• Arterial catheterization (AC) or cannulation for sampling, monitoring, or transfusion. Accounting for 5.5% of total surgical procedures, ACs are often inserted to closely monitor blood pressure and facilitate frequent blood sampling in surgical and critically ill patients.
• Obstetrical care was the second-most common surgical procedure in the U.S., with 3.2% of total surgical procedures. Obstetrical care refers to all antepartum care, vaginal delivery, and postpartum care.
• Insertion of a central venous access catheter (CVC) rounded out the top three, with 3.0% of total inpatient surgical procedures. CVCs are often inserted to administer certain medications, augment hemodynamic monitoring, and provide venous access when peripheral access is limited.
