    Journal: Leadersh Health Serv; 1996; 5(1):7-11. PubMed ID: 10154229.
    Abstract:
    Pursuing efficiency, the Ottawa Civic Hospital implemented a preadmission program which moved as much of the surgical admission procedure as possible to a single preadmission visit. The authors describe the process of researching, planning and implementing the program. They also report the savings it has represented for the hospital and the reaction from surgical patients.
