Study Type

  • Study Type: Observational
  • Study Design
    • Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional
  • Study Primary Completion Date: January 19, 2018

Detailed Description

The purpose of this project is to evaluate whether there is a difference in outcome measures (length of stay, occurrence of readmission, and patient satisfaction) with the addition of a post-operative evidence-based bundle/standard pre-operative education compared to standard pre-operative education alone that is given to patients prior to a hysterectomy (open, vaginal, or laparoscopic).

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Post-op evidence based bundle w/ Pre-op education
    • 25 patients undergoing hysterectomy from October 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 will receive the post-operative evidence based bundle/standard pre-operative education.
  • Standard pre-operative education alone
    • 25 patients undergoing hysterectomy from October 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 will receive the standard pre-operative education alone.
