Approaching the surgical patient. Role of the medical consultant.
Publication/Presentation Date
6-1-1993
Abstract
Medical consultants will no longer "clear patients" but will "prepare them" for surgery instead. They will be required to possess the expertise in assessing a patient's risk for surgery, managing perioperative medications, caring for postoperative complications, maintaining appropriate conduct in the role as consultant, and recording accurate documentation of level of service for third party reimbursement.
