Purpose: This quality improvement project implemented job-related education for registered nurses (RNs) completing preoperative anesthesia interviews (PAIs) to increase their knowledge and confidence, improve completeness of documented preoperative interviews, and decrease day of surgery (DOS) cancellations.
Design: Pre/post implementation design and retrospective chart review.
Methods: An educational module on PAIs was created and RNs working in the pre-admission testing (PAT) clinic were asked to complete the module.
