A pre-operative teaching program for children.
The Fallon Clinic Pediatric Department initiated a unique pre-operative teaching program in the HMO ambulatory setting for children undergoing elective surgery. The new program is based upon a pre-surgery appointment scheduled 1 week before elective surgery. At this visit, the patient completes required laboratory and other pre-operative testing and a physical examination is performed by the child's pediatrician.
