Development of a multidisciplinary colorectal and pelvic health program: Program implementation and clinical impact.

Introduction: Pediatric patients with complex colorectal and genitourinary conditions often require coordinated multidisciplinary care; however, this coordinated care can be hard to structure and deliver. The purpose of this paper is to review the development and implementation of a multidisciplinary colorectal and pelvic health program, one year after the program's initiation.

Methods: This is an observational retrospective 1-year study (10/1/2017 to 9/30/2018).

Single-visit surgery: An evaluation from an institutional perspective.

Background/purpose: Elective ambulatory surgical care traditionally involves three independent visits. Single-Visit Surgery (SVS) is an alternative surgical model that consolidates care into one visit. Evaluation of the effect of this novel program on hospital operations is limited.

Single-Visit Surgery Offers Added Convenience and Excellent Family Satisfaction.

Background: The traditional model for elective ambulatory surgical care includes three separate visits to the surgeon: an initial consultation, a second for outpatient surgery, and a third for postoperative follow-up. Single-Visit Surgery (SVS) is an alternative model of ambulatory surgical care that consolidates care into a single appointment where patients with straightforward surgical problems are evaluated in the morning and undergo a surgical procedure later that same afternoon. In April 2016, SVS was introduced at a tertiary-care freestanding children's hospital.
