A pragmatic working tool delivering paths of action and improvement
for an organisational approach at each step in management

 

When possible, outpatient surgery is now considered to be the best way to manage a patient prior to an operation. This book presents the importance of optimal organisation of outpatient surgery units; it reviews the principles and requirements, and responds to three fundamental questions: Which patient? Which procedure? Which structure?

The organisation of sites, the technological environment and medical-administrative guidance are essential factors in management. A well conducted policy of evaluation of practices, risk management and quality assurance will ensure effective, safe functioning. In fact, not exposing the patient to an increased risk is one of the major preoccupations in outpatient surgery.

Addressing all of these subjects, the work provides a step-by-step guide for care technicians and decision makers, throughout the patient’s course of surgery, setting out to optimise each of the steps. Its presentation in the form of sheets makes consultation easy and effective. Each sheet is accompanied by practical recommendations and useful digital supplements, videos, or legal texts.
