DescriptionAn educational intervention was implemented to evaluate providers' knowledge about current preoperative guidelines for patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. A literature search was completed which showed that factors such as healthcare cost, patient anxiety, and unrelated diagnoses discovered were implications of the unnecessary need for excessive preoperative testing. Due to a lack of protocol at this implementation site, the need for this project was evaluated. At the conclusion of the intervention, there was an increase in likelihood of using the protocol in future practice. However, the results were not statistically significant. The student investigators appreciate that the increase in likelihood could have been due to chance alone.
