Home » Surgery – Lifecycle – Preop Preparation
Preoperative Preparation:

- Instructions: Patients receive guidelines on fasting, medications, and more.
- Hospital Admission: Patients check into the hospital, if necessary.
- Preoperative Procedures: IVs, anesthesia consultations, and other preparations.

Generative AI can enhance Preoperative Preparation in several ways:
1) Virtual Assistants: Providing personalized preparation instructions to patients.
2) Optimizing Surgical Schedules: AI models to streamline the scheduling process.

Here’s how generative AI can enhance Preoperative Preparation, including potential prompts and sample data:

1) Virtual Assistants: Patient instruction.
Prompt: "Create personalized preoperative instructions for the patient."
Sample Data: Patient demographics, scheduled procedure details.

2) Optimizing Schedules: Streamlining scheduling.
Prompt: "Optimize the surgical schedule based on procedure type and surgeon availability."
Sample Data: Schedule data, surgeon availability, and procedure type.

IT/software tools, devices, and platforms used in Preoperative Preparation:

1. Virtual Assistants: Chatbots like HealthTap providing personalized preoperative instructions.
2. Surgical Scheduling Systems: Applications like Epic or Cerner streamline scheduling.

How generative AI can enhance each technology mentioned, along with prompts that can be used:

1. Virtual Assistants:
Enhancement: Generating personalized instructions based on patient data.
Prompt: "Create personalized preoperative instructions based on patient data."

2. Surgical Scheduling Systems:
Enhancement: Generating optimized surgical schedules.
Prompt: "Generate an optimized surgical schedule based on procedure type and availability."

Let's use a knee replacement surgery as an example to illustrate how generative AI enhances this Preoperative Preparation phase of the surgery life cycle:

Preoperative Preparation:

  • Virtual Assistants:
    • Example: A chatbot guides the patient through preoperative instructions, ensuring they understand how to prepare for surgery.
    • Prompt: "Provide personalized preoperative instructions for knee replacement."
  • Surgical Scheduling Systems:
    • Example: AI optimizes the surgical schedule, considering the duration and complexity of the knee replacement, to allocate the appropriate operating room and staff.
    • Prompt: "Optimize the surgical schedule for knee replacement."
