University Health Shreveport and the LSU School of Medicine provide much needed access to care to an underserved population. "The TelePREOP offering aligned with our operational, clinical and financial needs to ensure that our organization continues to focus on this patient community and provide the best care available," states Dr. Charles Fox, Chairman of the LSU Department of Anesthesiology. "We are thrilled to offer the TelePREOP platform to our patients and providers to help identify patient health issues prior to surgery. Additionally, the combined teams of University Health and TelePREOP will perform follow-up work that will help transition these patients back to their home setting."
TelePREOP offers their platform to manage patients preoperatively in an effort to identify health and genetic issues that may affect their care. This level of sophistication provides high patient satisfaction, lower hospital readmissions, lower costs and lower long-term complications. As the opioid abuse epidemic continues to develop, TelePREOP has incorporated pharmacogenetic testing programs to ensure the patients are getting the best and most sophisticated care possible.
"TelePREOP is working with several academic medical centers across the country to ensure that the perioperative care coordination platform we offer aligns with the patients' needs," comments Tony Mira, CEO of TelePREOP. "Our program is available to all perioperative settings and we continue to work with academic medical centers, as well as large health systems and community hospitals around the country."
"As a safety net hospital, TelePREOP is proud to work with University Health and the LSU doctors," states Bryan Sullivan, CIO of TelePREOP. "During the past two years, University Health, under the Biomedical Research Foundation leadership and with the help of LSU School of Medicine doctors, has made major improvements to increase patient care.
