Centered Surgery - Preoperative Counseling and Patient Satisfaction
The Cleveland Clinic
Summary
This study is a prospective cohort study which aims to assess patient satisfaction and preparedness for surgery through two methods of preoperative counseling: standard individual phone calls versus virtual group sessions called Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs). The study will focus on patients undergoing urogynecology prolapse surgeries at Cleveland Clinic. Researchers hypothesize that virtual group counseling will improve patient satisfaction and preparedness compared to individual phone calls. Additionally, the study will evaluate healthcare resource utilization as a secondary outcome. Participants will complete surveys before and after surgery to measure satisfaction and preparedness using validated tools. The study will enroll patients aged 18 and older who can provide informed consent and are scheduled for specific prolapse surgeries. Findings may help improve preoperative counseling practices and enhance patient-centered care.
