In 1992, a preoperative education program was developed for total joint replacement patients in a small community hospital. The goals of the program were to increase educational opportunities for the joint replacement patients, prepare patients for hospitalization, plan for discharge needs, and increase efficiency of the orthopaedic program. Since 1992, approximately 600 patients have attended the education program. Outcomes have included positive responses from patients regarding their preparedness for surgery, increased participation in their plan of care, coordinated discharge planning, decreased length of stay, and progression across the continuum of care. A multidisciplinary approach to preparing patients for surgery allows for a comprehensive and efficient education program. Marketing of successful programs can enhance an institution's competitive advantage and help ensure the hospital's viability in the current health care arena.
1992年，一家小型社区医院为全关节置换患者制定了术前教育计划。该计划的目标是增加关节置换患者的教育机会，让患者为住院做好准备，规划出院需求，并提高骨科项目的效率。自1992年以来，约600名患者参加了该教育计划。结果包括患者对手术准备的积极反馈、对护理计划参与度的提高、出院计划的协调、住院时间的缩短以及在连续护理过程中的进展。采用多学科方法为患者进行手术准备可实现全面且高效的教育计划。成功项目的推广可增强机构的竞争优势，并有助于确保医院在当前医疗保健领域的生存能力。
