Pre-Surgical Evaluations
Identify and address psychological factors (e.g., depression, anxiety, or unrealistic expectations) that may influence outcomes.
Recent studies demonstrated the effectiveness of pre-surgical psychological evaluations in predicting long-term outcomes for spinal surgeries and bariatric procedures.
These evaluations provide significant predictive insights that can enhance preoperative evaluations and improve postoperative outcomes.
Assess a patients readiness.
Pre-surgical evaluations can identify risk factors and make recommendations to mitigate concerns, thereby reducing surgical risks and improving outcomes.
Support patient adherence to postoperative care plans and lifestyle changes.
PPEs can help identify the patient’s strengths and supports that have positive impacts on post-surgical outcomes.
PPEs can also identify concerns that can be targeted through intervention to bolster post-surgery success.
