Preoperative assessment and optimisation for adult surgery

At Definition Health, we are committed to providing innovative solutions that enhance patient safety and streamline clinical workflows. Our digital tools like LifeBox and Connect are designed to support efficient and effective preoperative assessments, helping healthcare providers make informed decisions that optimise patient care.

The recently published Preoperative Assessment and Optimisation for Adult Surgery guidance highlights the critical role of digital platforms in improving preoperative processes. According to the guidance, preoperative assessment services should adopt digital solutions to streamline patient assessments, identify high-risk cases early, and ensure better communication across healthcare teams. This aligns perfectly with our mission to reduce unnecessary hospital visits and improve patient outcomes through remote monitoring and virtual clinics.

The guidance also recommends the implementation of patient self-screening questionnaires and electronic preoperative assessment (ePOA) systems, which allow clinicians to assess risk factors early and optimise patient care. Our solutions help patients complete assessments remotely, empowering clinicians to make data-driven decisions while preserving valuable clinical capacity.

With the right tools in place, healthcare providers can ensure that patients are in optimal health before surgery, reducing complications and enhancing recovery. At Definition Health, we are proud to be part of this vital transformation in healthcare, offering solutions that align with national guidelines and improve patient care pathways.
