The BC Ministry of Health, in partnership with the Perioperative Care Alignment and Digital Screening (PCADS) initiative and Provincial Health Authorities, aim to enhance pre- surgical screening for non-emergency adult surgeries by designing a patient-centered process to optimize surgical outcomes. We are conducting one on one interviews to gather feedback from high-risk patients and caregivers to improve usability, accessibility and communication within presurgical screening processes.
Patient partners will:
• Participate in a 45-60 minute one-on-one interview to share experiences with pre-surgical preparation.
• Provide input on digital screening questions to help patients to prepare for surgery.
• Help identify barriers, gaps and opportunities to improve the overall patient experience in the pre-surgical screening process.
An honorarium will be provided in this engagement. The health care partner will share details directly with the successful patient partners.
