Electronic Pre-operative Assessment

Electronic Pre-operative Assessment to Support the Recovery of Elective Surgery

Electronic pre-operative assessment services can play a vital role in the recovery of elective surgery. Pre-operative assessment of low-risk patients can be done faster and more efficiently with the help of digital solutions.

Digitally collecting pre-operative assessment is convenient and effective for both patients and care teams. Patients can enter their data at their own pace ahead of appointments. Remote vetting is much more efficient and agile for the care personnel, thus eliminating unnecessary inquiries, optimizing the use of resources and reducing costs.

Electronic pre-operative assessment enables sharing automatically timed information with patients such as fasting or medication instructions, appointment reminders, videos, or important website links through a smartphone or a tablet.

How does the Electronic Pre-operative Assessment Work?

The care coordination platform automatically educates and reminds patients about upcoming tasks and the patient is always aware of what the next steps need to be taken or which tasks need to be completed.

The Patient-Facing Mobile App has a User-friendly Timed To-Do List that Helps Patients in their Preoperative Preparations. Furthermore, it assists in:

Providing information about the procedure.
Sharing pre-operative assessment or other forms/questionnaires.
Providing a procedure checklist.
Sharing educational videos, photos, links.
Instructing when to take/stop medications and when to stop eating.
Providing secure, two-way messaging between patients and care teams.

Better Informed Care Personnel with Remote Patient Monitoring

While patients are using a mobile app, the care personnel's clinical monitoring dashboard provides a real-time overview of all patients' preoperative preparation tasks.

In the Preoperative Phase, Care Personnel Can See at-a-glance if patients:

Have read all education.
Submitted pre-op assessments or other questionnaires.
Followed dietary and medication instructions.

The platform reminds patients automatically a few times about uncompleted tasks, and if tasks are not completed it sends an attention notification to care personnel related to care pathway deviation. This helps care teams to earlier identify potential no-shows, patients at-risk, or patients experiencing challenges in maneuvering their care pathway.

Benefits of Electronic Pre-operative Assessment for Patients

Patients don’t need to visit the hospital physically or wait for a phone call.
Patients can enter their data at their own pace at a convenient time.
The entire pre-operative care pathway is transparent and available 24/7.
