Abstract
With the advent of prospective pricing, hospitals now have a powerful incentive to improve efficiency and reduce expenses. Prospective pricing incentives are encouraging movement of preoperative teaching out of the inpatient setting. At The Center for Hip and Knee Surgery, a 24-bed research-oriented midwestern orthopaedic hospital, we have developed and implemented an alternative approach to preadmission testing and preoperative patient education.Keywords
