Aim: Preliminary evaluation of a new allied health prehabilitation multidisciplinary service (exercise, nutrition and psychology) for risk-stratifying patients into a tailored and individualised model of prehabilitation.
Design: Retrospective data analysis of clinic uptake and clinic utilisation including; number of new referrals, group attendance, program adherence, modality of service, external referrals placed, program duration, and interdisciplinary referrals made.
Method: Retrospective data analysis of all patients who received referrals to allied health prehabilitation service.
Results: Service commenced in March 2019, first scheduled evaluation is in June 2019 therefore initial evaluation results not yet available. Analysis of these results will be completed August 2019 and will be available for presentation at this conference.
Conclusion: These findings will inform clinicians about the success of the current service design. The results will inform timely changes to the current model of care to ensure the clinic meets the needs of the target patient group and is resource viable. Other services could extrapolate these results to assist in development of their own allied health prehabilitaion program.
