A modern preoperative patient assessment goes beyond a basic checklist. Learn what surgery centers should include, from medical history and medication reconciliation to targeted testing, informed consent, risk stratification, and patient communication.

Patient readiness goes beyond pre-op clearance. Learn how surgery centers can standardize clinical, educational, logistical, and financial readiness to reduce delays, prevent cancellations, and improve the patient experience.

A history that was copied-forward, an allergy without a reaction type, or a consent that doesn't match the schedule can lead to delays, cancellations, payer denials, and legal exposure. Here are the most common pre-op documentation mistakes and how to prevent them.

Gaps in pre-surgery communication cause missed labs, medication errors, and last-minute cancellations. We break down why consistent, documented communication before surgery drives better clinical outcomes, and fewer billing issues.

AI is reshaping how healthcare organizations approach surgical workflow gaps before they cause day-of-surgery problems. This piece covers where AI fits into pre-op workflows, and why clinical accountability still sits with the care team.
