Perioperative Care Enhancement

Optimise major surgery pathways

Major surgery represents a significant stressor for patients. Patients with poor preoperative fitness, nutritional status and mental resilience have an increased risk of postoperative complications and incomplete recovery. This deteriorates functional outcomes and increases health care costs.

Modern perioperative care pathways therefore include preoperative assessment of individual modifiable recovery risks. These are addressed preoperatively by so-called prehabilitation, which may include training, diet enhancement and mental counselling.

Care IQ can assess the value of novel perioperative care for your hospital and arrange for expert input and training. We offer project planning and implementation support.
