Preadmission testing (PAT) before surgical procedures ensures patient safety and decreases last minute case cancellations.PAT surgery improves efficiency for the health system; however, process is often inconvenient patient. We sought to determine impact of telemedicine on presurgical assessment.We performed a retrospective review comparing patients who participated in telemedicine-based PAT had routine, on-site PAT. Our outcomes aligned with National Quality Forum recommended domains...
