Short interview clip (YouTube) in which clinical coordinator Kasey describes how she readies patients for surgery: confirming date/time, reviewing allergies and current medications (including blood thinners), ensuring specialist clearances/release letters, arranging pre-op appointments and necessary imaging (e.g., CT scan), and calling patients the day before to confirm arrival time.
Hey, Casey, could you just tell me a little bit about how you prepare our patients for a surgery day? Sure. We go over the date and time to make sure it's a gift for the patient. And then I kind of go over all the allergies, make sure that their medications are up to date and if there are any blood thinners, as well as I make sure they're seeing any specialists, that we kind of get a release letter, that they're good to proceed with surgery. And then I'll let them know when the subject will be, when pre op will be, and then if they need a CT scan for the upcoming surgery so we can get that all prepared. And then let them know that I will call them the day before surgery for their time of arrival and then get them all set up.
