Our case review suggested that some of the cancellations could have been prevented or that the surgery could have been delayed before the patient entered the operating room and before anesthesia.

PMC There is much recent interest in anesthesiology involvement in the perioperative surgical home (Dexter and Wachtel 2014), but anesthesiologists are probably best utilized as directors of protocols and care as opposed to the actual delivery. Inter-observer or intra-observer reliability was not assessed. The surgical clinics utilize a published criteria list to determine which patients are lower risk and therefore eligible for the NS process (see Table1). Reasons for cancellations were documented as one of ten structured reasons by preoperative holding area clerical staff. Determining a rate of DOSCs is challenging (Dexter et al.

Therefore, it is useful to analyze how these preoperative processes can be modified to reduce costs, duplication, and inconvenience but still to reliably triage unoptimized patients to more intensive investigation, to provide consistent assessment and documentation, and to minimize DOSCs. A recent study of cancellations of inpatients also suggested that late assessments were not a major contributor to DOSCs (Dexter et al. <> Factors influencing pre-operative assessment time.
