Wenatchee, Wash.-based Confluence Health will open a pre-anesthesia testing clinic at its Central Campus hospital on Feb. 9, Source One reported Jan. 19.
The clinic aims to improve surgical outcomes by evaluating patients’ health prior to surgery. Patients will meet with a nurse or medical provider to review their medical history, assess surgical readiness and receive personalized preoperative education.
Early assessments can reduce infection risk, shorten hospital stays, improve recovery time and lead to better post-surgical outcomes, according to the report.
The system will hold a ribbon cutting Jan. 27 to mark the clinic’s completion.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
