Day Procedures – Patients Wear Own Clothes & Shoes In OT.

[HIP Consultancy]

Hi All,

Just wondering what other hospitals do that have day procedure patients.

Have things changed that allow hospitals that do day procedures to allow
patients to no longer get changed & go into the operating suite fully
clothed?

But wear the token, open backed patient gown hanging off the shoulder look,
over the top of their clothes.

This particular client of mine is not a dedicated day surgery hospital.

I do not have my current edition of ACORN with me today, so if anyone could
check & let me know that would be great.

Or, is there some other evidence / policy etc that advocates this?

I always love the usual response – but that’s what other operating theatres
do!!

But I can never get the names of those hospitals from the staff that have
implemented the practice.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Cheers
