The Pre Operative Medicine clinic is located on the 8th floor of the Center for Health and Healing building 2 (CHH2). This is an 13 room clinic, with MAs, NPs and MDs working in a shared, collaborativespace. The PMC NP performs preoperative risk assessment on pre surgical patients by obtaining an H and P and ordering appropriate diagnostic studies and laboratory tests. He/she will collaborate with other members of the team regarding pre-op instructions, medication management, and patient education. The NP is expected to function independently but also work in close collaboration with providers from other departments (cardiology, anesthesiology, internal medicine, etc.) to coordinate medical optimization of the patient prior to surgery. This includes but is not limited to following up on lab tests, cardiac testing, referrals to other specialties and documenting plan of care in EMR. NPs also communicates with the surgical team (surgeons, surgery schedulers) when necessary to share concerns about patient readiness for scheduled surgeries. Timely, focused documentation with the referring surgeon, PCP and anesthesiologist when appropriate to ensure quality patient care. The NP will review the patients history, via patients verbal report and the review of previous medical records from internal and external sources, and perform a complete physical exam on each patient- including but not limited to auscultation of the heart and lungs. Consistent patient education about good preparation for surgery. Documentation in the EMR of the clinical assessment will be executed according to documentation standards for licensed providers at OHSU. Chart documentation will be accurate and timely. The NPs will perform peer reviews on a yearly basis. This is a requirement of the academic staff . The NP staff will perform peer chart audits according to the chart audit program in PMC. The PMC medical director will review peer chart audits and provide the NPs with feedback about documentation completeness. Charts will be forwarded to coding professionals for billing. The NP shall provide services as assigned by the supervisor in furtherance of the universitys missions and goals of teaching, research, patient care, outreach and public service. The NP is expected to comply with scope of practice, other laws, regulations, OHSU policy, and other applicable professional standards of practice. The vision of the Pre-Operative Medicine Clinic (PMC) is to work as a clinic-wide team to partner with our multidisciplinary partners at OHSU to serve the diverse peri-operative/peri-procedural needs of patients across the Pacific NW to provide high-quality patient-centered care that enhances the entire peri-operative/peri-procedural experience. Perioperative medicine is a complex, nuanced field. PMC has goals are to continually provide patient-centered risk reduction, improve surgical outcomes, decreased post-operative complications, improve patient satisfaction and experience, optimize periop costs and length-of-stay, and decrease surgical delays or cancellations.
