“…Another question made through previous telephone contact was the pre-anesthetic consultation: 44.16% of the patients were evaluated, 36.04% did not have the discussion, and in 19.80%, it was not possible to verify whether or not there was. However, it is a mandatory assessment before any elective surgery, ensuring knowledge of the patient's clinical status, as well as providing safety and comfort during the surgical procedure [25] .…”

In assessing the quality of health services, the use of quality and resolution indicators used in the operating room stands out. The cancellation fee for operating procedures is one of the most important. Cancellations interfere with the outcome of care and increase hospital costs. In the case of cancer patients, the consequences are severe, since early surgical intervention directly influences prognosis, reducing morbidity, and mortality. Considering that surgical suspensions should be prevented, pre-anesthetic consultation and telephone confirmation days before the procedure configure strategies that can be adopted to minimize the problem. A descriptive observational study with a quantitative approach was conducted on the impact of previous telephone confirmation on the reduction of cancellation of oncologic surgeries due to absenteeism. The research was carried out at Professor Alberto Antunes University Hospital, Federal University of Alagoas (HUPAA/UFAL), city of Maceió, State of Alagoas, Northeastern Brazil. The sample consisted of 205 patients with scheduled cancer surgery from January to June 2019, after approval by the Institutional Ethics Committee. Data analysis was performed descriptively. The effectiveness of previous telephone confirmation was verified, with a 50% reduction in cancellation of elective oncologic surgeries due to absenteeism. The implementation of a call center to confirm the presence of the user consisted of an impact strategy in reducing the cancellation of previously scheduled cancer surgeries.

“…Another study reports that 4.1% of surgeries, corresponding to 701 patients, were canceled; in 343 patients, the cancelation occurred 1 day before the surgical procedure without any justification, and in 358, it was suspended the day of the surgical procedure 5 . Health institutions in Colombia must manage the quality of care, in addition to continuous training of human resources, to provide safe care and thus avoid cancelations for different reasons that are still preventable 15 (Table 1).…”

Objective:The objective of the study was to analyze the factors attributable to the cancellation of surgeries of a third-level health institution in the city of Valledupar, Cesar/Colombia (2017-2018. Material and methods: This was descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional study. Data from the hospital surgical unit adverse case file were collected for six surgical specialties. Results: They showed that in 2017, there was a surgical suspension of 4% of the total of scheduled surgeries that were 3339, for 2018, the rate was 3% with a total of scheduled surgeries ( 1733). The reason for the suspension for both periods was the factor related to the patient's adverse conditions with 45.9 and 38.5%, respectively. The specialty most affected for these cases was the specialty of general surgery with the same percentage value in both periods of 4%. Conclusions: The results give us an idea of the factors present for the cancellation of scheduled surgeries and the need to apply measures to guarantee patient safety.

“…PHA is often guided by a questionnaire which helps to identify at-risk patients and provide a record of medical history relevant to anaesthesia [9]. Specifically, prior studies have demonstrated the efficacy of standardized questionnaires in facilitating the assimilation of comprehensive patient information, the identification of patients at higher perioperative risks and the referral of patients to other specialists for further consultation [10,11]. The utilization of a questionnaire was also reported to be associated with a more efficient use of healthcare resources [12].…”

“…The utilization of a questionnaire was also reported to be associated with a more efficient use of healthcare resources [12]. Conversely, PHA conducted without a standardized questionnaire could risk missing significant coexistent diseases which would then lead to patient harm, surgical delays or cancellation, indiscriminate or increased preoperative testing and increased healthcare costs [10,12].…”

Preanaesthesia health assessment is gradually transitioning from paper-based, face-to-face assessment to digitized assessment, self-administered by the patient. This transition could potentially optimize the various goals of assessment, notably facilitating the efficient collection of the patient’s health information. We have previously developed and validated a tablet application (PreAnaesThesia Computerized Health assessment application or “PATCH”) for patients to conduct preanaesthesia self-assessment. In a randomized controlled trial, we sought to compare the duration of nurse–patient consultation and patient satisfaction between patients who underwent PATCH self-assessment vs. standard care nurse-led assessment. Fifty-two elective surgical patients were randomized to complete either PATCH assessment or standard care nurse-led assessment at an outpatient preoperative clinic. The duration of nurse–patient consultation was subsequently noted for all patients who also completed a satisfaction survey. The mean (SD) nurse–patient consultation times in the PATCH and standard care groups were comparable, at 11.5 (3.6) min and 12.2 (2.9) min, respectively (p = 0.703). Overall satisfaction scores were also comparable, at 23.9 and 27.0 respectively (p = 0.451) for the PATCH and standard nurse assessment groups. Favorable perceptions of PATCH among users ranged between 41.7% and 79.2%. In conclusion, PATCH self-assessment can feasibly be introduced into current practice with comparable nurse–patient consultation times and patient satisfaction.

Abstract: The questionnaire was effective for screening patients who needed further evaluation and/or changes in treatment regimen prior to elective surgery. Moreover, the questionnaire added data not covered by clinical evaluation.
