The project was aimed at improving the surgical process for patients by implementing a new standardized patient evaluation to identify potential risk factors for surgery and best practices to reduce them. For the study, a group of patients were seen and evaluated using a standardized medical process, and the results of the group were compared to a control group of patients who underwent the same types of surgeries before the standardized process was implemented.
The control group had a perioperative complication rate of 12.4 percent, which dropped to 8.45 percent for the group of patients who were evaluated using the standardized medical process.
