Day of Surgery Folder Instructions:

Place the paperwork from Sarah in Exercise Training behind the “REHAB” divider.  Make sure to remove any extra paperwork (clinical notes, doctor’s letters, etc.) and discard of the extra paperwork in a blue HIPPA bin.  The only information in this section should concern sling usage and/or exercises.
  2. Place the appropriate folder in the appropriate patient’s slot at the nurse’s station.  Make sure the nurses know that the packet is there so they can add their Post Op information sheets to the packet.
