Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the telehealth preanesthesia clinic (PAC) is to reduce the number of day-of-surgery (DOS) cancellations through the implementation of an algorithm-based standardized protocol.
Design: A prospective quality improvement project with pre and post assessment.
Methods: One hundred and fifty preoperative and postoperative surgical chart reviews using the Focus, Analyze, Develop, Execute, and Evaluate model. Retrospective chart reviews were conducted via the electronic health record to collect DOS cancellation counts along with reason for cancellation for a 6-week period prior to implementation, and a 6-week period postimplementation based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Findings: The implementation of a telehealth PAC using TEMPO (transition and action, evaluation and significant history, medications, procedure and condition, and overall plan) protocols resulted in a statistically significant reduction in DOS cancellations from 3.38% to 1.72%.
Conclusions: Postimplementation findings support the use of a telehealth PAC to reduce DOS cancellations.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing provides original, peer-reviewed research for a primary audience that includes nurses in perianesthesia settings, including ambulatory surgery, preadmission testing, postanesthesia care (Phases I and II), extended observation, and pain management. The Journal provides a forum for sharing professional knowledge and experience relating to management, ethics, legislation, research, and other aspects of perianesthesia nursing.
