The Royal Inland Hospital has created a new checklist for patients to review prior to their total shoulder surgery. The goal of the checklist is to prepare patients for an efficient discharge and review some of the most important reasons why patients may face challenges in being discharged.

The key topics will be reviewed with an Occupational Therapist after their surgery as well. This patient engagement opportunity is meant to provide the developers and OT staff with feedback on the layout, content and key messages from the short 1 page document.

Review sessions are anticipated to be 1 hour in length and done virtually through a video conference or phone call.

This opportunity is at the level of Consult on the IAP2 Spectrum of Public Participation.

It’s really hard to make changes in health care. When a PVN patient partner says, ‘This is important to us’ it keeps us grounded on why a change is needed and keeps us motivated to keep going on projects.
