Perioperative Medicine Patient Care
The Perioperative team at HSS evaluates every patient scheduled for surgery and creates an individualized “Risk Assessment” plan based on his or her health issues.
A comprehensive plan is then constructed to optimize the health of the patient before, during, and after surgery including a safe and smooth discharge from the hospital. Guidelines have been developed to ensure all physicians have access to up to date information on patient care recommendations.
Patients at HSS also have access to a wide range of materials to help them understand the role of Perioperative Medicine in their care and help them prepare for their hospitalization.
The focus of Perioperative care involves a patient’s medical readiness and comfort, as well as the coordination and quality of his or her care before and after surgery.
