What Is a Pre-op Assessment?
Consider the Pre-op assessment as a way of filling the gap after surgery. The assessment was specifically designed to help identify factors known to impact a patient’s pain and develop a specific plan to those characteristics. The evaluation functions as a “pain clearance,” just like a surgical clearance is obtained from other providers, like cardiologists or doctors. Patients will receive a pain plan in the event there are abnormal findings in the Pre-Op Assessment.
