Measure
Pre Intervention
In the first part planned over 2months (Jan - Feb), feedback forms will be collected from patients at the end of minor OT procedure. The number of postponement or rescheduling of cases will be noted. Postponement or rescheduling of case is defined as an event when the patient who is called for his turn in minor OT is deferred for any amount of time in account of starvation not adequate, investigations not brought, medications not taken as prescribed.
Post Intervention
In the intervention phase, the patient information leaflet (PIL) will be handed over to all patients planned for procedure in the minor OT complex. This leaflet will be handed over by the attending doctor in the Head neck OPD. The checklist pertaining to counselling at the Head neck OPD will be ticked after they are carried out. The patient will be instructed to read leaflet carefully and carry the leaflet on the day of Minor OT procedure. In the minor OT the discharge checklist in the PIL would be carried out by all concerned including the surgical, anesthesia and nursing team. The impact of use of PIL will be assessed by noting the number of postponement or rescheduling of cases.
