Fine-tuning preadmission surgical services.
A preadmission procedure for surgical services prepares patients both physically and psychologically. A VIP folder holds all the information patients and the surgical staff need: procedure information, test results, discharge instructions, etc. On the day of the surgery, patients report directly to the surgical unit.
