As patient safety is our number one priority, all surgical candidates undergo Pre-Operative Admissions Testing coordinated by a registered nurse. This unique program identifies high-risk patients and unforeseen health conditions to ensure surgery and recovery go as smoothly as possible.
During Pre-Operative Admissions Testing, an anesthesiologist will review all patient charts prior to surgery, in many cases meeting directly with the patient to discuss their individualized surgical plan. Through Pre-Operative Admissions Testing, surgeons and staff can better determine if a patient is safe to undergo surgery, while highlighting and addressing any possible health risks. This innovative measure prevents same day surgery cancellations, optimizes patients for surgery and leads to the highest level of patient outcomes.
To better prepare patients for surgery, the Revive Joint Replacement Program hosts a pre-operative education class where they will learn what to expect before and after surgery. Here, patients and a designated friend or family member, also known as the patient’s “Coach,” will receive guidance and education that covers the entire surgical and recovery process. Bilingual classes are also available for Spanish speakers.
