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. 000009210 540__ $$fCC BY 000009210 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000009210 650__ $$aAged$$014351 000009210 650__ $$aAnesthesia$$014714 000009210 650__ $$aVulnerable Populations$$034693 000009210 650__ $$aNeurosurgery$$022875 000009210 650__ $$aHospitals, Community$$020339 000009210 650__ $$aGeriatrics$$019498 000009210 650__ $$aTreatment Outcome$$029508 000009210 6531_ $$apre-anesthesia clinic 000009210 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009210 7001_ $$aGheewala, Rohi$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009210 7001_ $$aPaez, Wencesley$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009210 7001_ $$aHildebrant, Nathan$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009210 7001_ $$aTsai, Clifford$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009210 7001_ $$aGupta, Shalini$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009210 7001_ $$aHardman, Joe$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009210 7001_ $$aSelden, Nathan R.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009210 7001_ $$aCiporen, Jeremy N.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009210 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2021 000009210 8564_ $$939e4d769-b59c-4eac-8d53-945d0b648cdb$$s108073$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9210/files/Gheewala-Rohi-OHSU-ResearchWeek-2021.pdf 000009210 905__ $$a/rest/prod/qr/46/r1/56/qr46r156b 000009210 980__ $$aResearch Week
