First developed in 2010, the Pre-Op Tool is an easy-to-use, web-based application that assists primary care providers in delivering high-quality, consistent preoperative care. The tool's recommendations are derived from primary literature, consensus guidelines and expert opinion, and address both preoperative testing and medication management.

​

By standardizing anticoagulation and antiplatelet management, the Pre-Op Tool lowers the risk of adverse perioperative events, including MI and postoperative bleeding. Additionally, reduction in unnecessary preoperative testing can provide significant financial savings.
