Patient Satisfaction with Remote Pre-Anesthesia Assessment Via Telephone.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The use of telemedicine can contribute to patient satisfaction, support hygienic concepts by avoiding physical contact when not required, and reduce waiting and travel time. We aimed to evaluate our recently implemented telemedical approach of remote pre-anesthesia assessment.

Methods

In total, 250 patients were asked to voluntarily complete the questionnaire after their pre-anesthesia assessment via telephone. Digital anesthesia records were subsequently reviewed for unexpected events and complications to investigate the quality and safety of the approach.
