Abstract
A proof of concept study was conducted to implement an automated preoperative triage and preparation service with 2 components: (1) triage between preoperative visits and phone screens, and (2) delivery of preoperative instructions to patients. The study enrolled 2604 patients, of whom 75.7% completed the preoperative triage questionnaire and 47.6% were triaged to preoperative phone screens. For the preoperative preparation component, 90.8% of patients viewed surgery preparation instructions, and average patient satisfaction score was 9.3/10. An automated preoperative triage and preparation service can facilitate preoperative triage using patient self-reported information and guide patient preparation with instructions delivered at relevant times.
