Question from member Leslie Rhodes

Dallas, TX
The Pediatric Orthopaedic Practitioners Society POPS

Which facilities send non-complicated, healthy, AIS PSF patients from OR to PACU to a med-surg floor? We are currently revising our post-op pathway to include admission directly to the floor and have had some concerns come up with administration. I would like to see how other facilities handle these patients to show our administration that it is safe and effective. Any input is greatly appreciated!
