    The Cardiac Pre-admission Clinic (PAC) at Royal Columbian Hospital effectively prepares patients for cardiac procedures through assessments and teaching. This program enhances patient care and improves hospital bed utilization.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • The Royal Columbian Hospital established a Cardiac Pre-admission Clinic (PAC) to manage patients undergoing elective cardiac procedures.
    • Pre-admission assessments and patient teaching are crucial for optimizing care and resource allocation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of the Cardiac Pre-admission Clinic (PAC) program.
    • To detail the background, design, structure, and evaluation of the PAC's patient teaching initiatives.

    Main Methods:

    • Patients receive nursing assessments, pre-operative testing, and results screening approximately one week before their procedure.
    • Development of standardized teaching plans for coronary angiogram, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
