Description

1.1 To implement a server based digital solution for all pre op assessment pathways across SFT which will deliver far ranging benefits for patients and for the Trust. It will allow clear oversight of patient pathways by all clinical and non-clinical teams involved in preparing patients for surgery. Implementing a digital system will allow a streamlined process where low risk patients can be screened early allowing optimal clinician input and resources to be focused on high-risk patients. The digital solution will provide consistent decision support through clinically validated and peer reviewed algorithms. The digital solution will support a web-based version for direct patient interaction so will increase the amount of pre-operative assessments completed with reduced footfall through the department. Using the digital solution will improve pre-operative assessment clinic efficiency by increasing throughput, assessing patients in a timelier manner by targeting delays in the current process will help reduce morbidity and mortality rates from surgery, reduce hospital admissions and length of stay, reduce waiting list times, and improve theatre efficiency. The solution will also reduce the administrative burden and allow relevant pre-op and post op data to be collected to help with future improvements in the service.
