Workflow for Procedures

At UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals we are looking at improving the workflow of assisting our pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes who are going in for a procedure. We wanted to see what the workflow is at other facilities. How are endocrine providers notified a patient is going in for a procedure? Who is responsible for notifying the patient/caregiver of the pre-op instructions?

Any insights, protocols, policies, workflows you would be willing to share would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
