Abstract

This study examines patient satisfaction with a novel preoperative neuropsychology program at the University of Florida Hospital (UF Health), the Perioperative Cognitive Anesthesia Network (PeCAN^SM). The PeCAN clinic serves patients 65 and older planning elective surgeries at UF Health by offering brain health exams to establish baseline functioning and to identify cognitive vulnerabilities preoperatively. Patient satisfaction with the program was assessed anonymously with two separate surveys: a brief PeCAN-specific mail-in survey and an electronic general behavioral health survey. Respondents rated their experience with PeCAN on both surveys and had the option to include comments. Mean survey ratings show that patients were satisfied (A- or B-rating on an A-to-F scale) with their overall care (95 %), scheduling experience (93 %), assessment experience (95 %), and clinician feedback recommendations (90 %). Comments were examined to determine general satisfaction with the PeCAN program as well as specific themes in patient experiences. Qualitative analyses indicated that the PeCAN visit was helpful, informative, and valuable to patients’ care.

老年患者术前脑部健康检查满意度

本研究在佛罗里达大学医院（UF Health）的围手术期认知麻醉网络（PeCANSM）调查了患者对一项新的术前神经心理学计划的满意度。PeCAN诊所通过提供脑部健康检查来建立基线功能并识别术前认知脆弱性，为65岁及以上的UF健康患者提供选择性手术计划。患者对该计划的满意度通过两项单独的匿名调查进行评估：一项简短的pecan特定邮件调查和一项电子一般行为健康调查。受访者在两项调查中都对自己使用PeCAN的经历进行了评分，并可以选择发表评论。平均调查评分显示，患者对他们的整体护理（95%）、安排体验（93%）、评估体验（95%）和临床医生反馈建议（90%）感到满意（A- f量表为A-或b级）。对评价进行检查，以确定对PeCAN计划的总体满意度以及患者体验的特定主题。定性分析表明，PeCAN访问是有益的，信息丰富的，对患者的护理有价值。

期刊介绍： The objective of this new online journal is to serve as a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed source of information related to the administrative, economic, operational, safety, and quality aspects of the ambulatory and in-patient operating room and interventional procedural processes. The journal will provide high-quality information and research findings on operational and system-based approaches to ensure safe, coordinated, and high-value periprocedural care. With the current focus on value in health care it is essential that there is a venue for researchers to publish articles on quality improvement process initiatives, process flow modeling, information management, efficient design, cost improvement, use of novel technologies, and management.
