The value of pre‐admission assessment clinics in orthopaedics
Abstract
The value of pre‐admission assessment clinics prior to elective surgery has been previously reported. However, no assessment of their value to orthopaedics in particular has been made. This preliminary study shows that such clinics can bring about a significant saving in theatre time and hence improved efficiency. Most cancellations at the clinic resulted from change in orthopaedic requirement and not from anaesthetic contraindications.
