Pre-Procedure Preparation Toolkit

Doc type: Guideline

Doc No.: GL2007_018

Functional Group - Sub Group:

Summary
Optimal Pre-Procedure Preparation (PPP) is the first vital step for ensuring a successful surgical or procedural patient journey. PPP requires input from a multidisciplinary team: surgeon/proceduralist, anaesthetist, nurse, clerical staff, allied health, the patient's General Practitioner (GP) and the patients themselves. This toolkit has been developed to assist health facilities in optimising their processes for pre-admission assessment and preparation for patients undergoing procedures or surgery.
