Hi all, we’ve been using data and analytics to better understand what affects a patients surgical outcome, with a special interest in the none surgical risk factors. One of the things we now know is that active smokers having surgery at Leeds have a length of stay at least one day longer than exsmokers. To try and reduce some of these risks we want to expand our patient portal to deliver personalised perioperative optimisation. We’re very fortunate in being short-listed for a QExchange award!

We’re still refining the project and we’re very happy to take suggestions about how it can be improved and whether you would like to collaborate, perhaps you’ve introduced a digital communication tool/app, or have ideas on what data we could collect to demonstrate the benefits/improvements of the work. Thank you, in advance for your time.
