Check out the ACS Surgical Patient Education Toolkit at Clinical Congress 2022

Earlier this year, the ACS released the Surgical Patient Education Toolkit, which allows individual subscribers to deliver ACS-curated education directly from their individual practice website to patients and caregivers and includes access to all ACS Patient Education materials.

The toolkit delivers point-of-care surgical education to help patients understand a procedure, make informed decisions, and confidently manage their entire perioperative experience from preparation to at-home care. Features of the platform include:

• Comprehensive coverage of procedures, medications, smoking cessation, and questions to ask, as well as safe pain control for general, cardiothoracic, pediatric, and vascular procedures
• Preoperative preparation, operation description and options, common risks and benefits, and links to the ACS NSQIP Risk calculator, postoperative home information, pain management plans, and when to call your surgeon
• An extensive video library for home care management of colostomy, ileostomy, urostomy, feeding tubes, central lines, and wound care training
