2. NP\/PA H&P only (B visit): seen by a MA who does the intake, then a NP\/PA that completes an H&P.<\/p>\n
- \n
- ASA 1 or 2 patients \u2013 low comorbidity patients, but they need an H&P (JCAHO requirement within 30 days
\nof surgery), labs, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n3. RN visit only: RN will complete all intake questions, med rec, preop instructions; will also obtain any lab work and\/or
\nECG ordered by surgeon.<\/p>\n- \n
- No visit with NP, PA or Anesthesiologist, therefore surgeon (or primary care provider) responsible for preoperative
\nevaluation and surgical H&P.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n4. Phone screen (A visit): not an actual visit, a phone questionnaire
\nthat an RN does over the phone to rule out significant medical
\nor anesthesia-related problems.<\/p>\n- \n
- For low risk patients with straight forward surgeries.<\/li>\n
- An anesthesiologist will review pts chart and make sure there
\nisn\u2019t glaring red flags that would cause a delay or cancellation
\non day of surgery.<\/li>\n - No visit with NP, PA or Anesthesiologist, therefore surgeon
\n(or primary care provider) responsible for preoperative
\nevaluation and surgical H&P.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n** If in doubt of which kind of visit is necessary, please select<\/em>
\nAnesthesia Consult (C visit).<\/em><\/p>\nPlease use this as a simplified guide as to which type of CPC Visit is appropriate for the type of surgery being performed
\nand the complexity of the patient:<\/p>\n- \n
- The CPC process matches clinical resources and needs by means of the following an algorithm that incorporates
\nestimates of both patient comorbidity and procedure-specific risk.<\/li>\n - These variables are combined into a \u201crisk grid\u201d that forms the basis of the three levels of a CPC visit so that the
\npreoperative process can meet the needs of each patient.<\/li>\n - The surgeon can select any level of visit for the patient, but this table may serve as a guide to help delineate what may
\nbe the most appropriate for the given surgical procedure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2018\/07\/Capture.jpg\")
