Abstract

Preoperative assessment is crucial in surgical care, traditionally relying on physical examinations and paper-based questionnaires. The emergence of digital tools like Pathpoint® ePOA represents a significant advancement, aiming to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and standardisation of preoperative evaluations. Pathpoint® ePOA is a cloud-based platform designed to integrate seamlessly with Electronic Health Records (EHRs), providing a comprehensive, data-driven approach to preoperative assessments. It supports improved risk stratification, optimised resource allocation, and enhanced patient engagement through features such as customisable templates and real-time data integration.Current research highlights that digital preoperative tools like ePOA offer notable advantages, including increased clinical capacity, better complexity stratification, and improved patient follow-up. Despite these benefits, gaps remain in comparative studies, detailed clinical outcomes, and patient engagement strategies, indicating areas for further exploration. Pathpoint® ePOA adheres to rigorous safety standards and risk management protocols, ensuring reliability and data security while contributing to improved surgical outcomes. The benefit-risk ratio for ePOA is favourable, underscoring its potential to advance preoperative care by optimising clinical workflows and enhancing patient safety.
