With the annual number of surgical procedures in the U.S. nearing 100 million, the need for peri-operative care is vital for fast and effective recover from surgery.

Peri-operative care refers to the care a person undergoes when they have surgery. Peri-operative care encompasses pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative care. Admission, diagnostic tests, preparation for surgery, anaesthesia and physical care during the operation and care and pain management after the procedure are all a part of the peri-operative care process.

Peri-operative care can take place in large hospitals, day-surgery facilities and a variety of other private health care facilities.

The aim of peri-operative care is to provide the safest environment and care for the person undergoing surgery in order to promote optimum recovery and health.

Surgical Procedures on the Rise

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services there are approximately 100 million surgical procedures performed in the U.S. each year. Just over half of these are performed as outpatient procedures as opposed to inpatient procedures.

The number of outpatient procedures has risen dramatically over recent years due to a number of factors, like less invasive surgical techniques being used, an improvement in anaesthesia and an improvement in the area of pain management, not to mention the need for a reduction in the number of inpatient procedures in order to save money and reduce pressure on the health care system.

Due to this, the need for easier access to peri-operative health care is vital. According to franchising expert, Derek Cafferata, CEO of All State Franchise Finder’s, there are some companies taking advantage of this need and providing high quality health care with affordability and accessibility in mind.

“Several companies are recognized this growing healthcare industry and seized on the opportunity to build a strong and successful franchise model to cater to this need,” said Derek. “One such franchise is Soulstice, a business that continues to show exciting growth.”
