As patient safety is our number one priority, all surgical candidates undergo
Pre-Operative Admissions Testing coordinated by a registered nurse. This
unique program identifies high-risk patients and unforeseen health conditions
to ensure surgery and recovery go as smoothly as possible.
During Pre-Operative Admissions Testing, an anesthesiologist will review
all patient charts prior to surgery, in many cases meeting directly with
the patient to discuss their individualized surgical plan. Through Pre-Operative
Admissions Testing, surgeons and staff can better determine if a patient
is safe to undergo surgery, while highlighting and addressing any possible
health risks. This innovative measure prevents same day surgery cancellations,
optimizes patients for surgery and leads to the highest level of patient outcomes.
Joint Replacement Education Class
To better prepare patients for surgery, the Revive Joint Replacement Program
hosts a pre-operative education class where they will learn what to expect
before and after surgery. Here, patients and a designated friend or family
member, also known as the patient’s “Coach,” will receive
guidance and education that covers the entire surgical and recovery process.
Bilingual classes are also available for Spanish speakers.
