Perioperative Anesthesia
Perioperative medicine aims to deliver the best possible care to surgery patients. This includes pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative care. The aim will be achieved by refining existing care pathways and developing new pathways.
The goal is to improve the patient experience, reduce post-operative complications, reduce inpatient hospital days and reduce early re-admissions following surgery.
The benefits of perioperative systems include:
- Increased surgical volume and flow.
- Shorter pre-operative length of stay.
- Fewer cancellations of surgery.
- The relative reduction in the number and cost of the pre-operative investigation.
- Improve long-term patient outcomes after surgery.
