There are few reports of the impact of pre-anesthesia clinics (PAC) on patient outcomes in the community hospital setting. We piloted a community hospital PAC in January 2017 and permanently established it June 2017. All neurosurgical patients from a single provider were evaluated by an anesthesiologist in-person or telephone consultation preoperatively. Over three years, the PAC was also adopted by general surgery, orthopedic surgery, and urology.}, number = {IR}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/qr46r156b}, recid = {9210}, address = {2021}, }
