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.
