Pathway for Pre-Operative Assessment for Booked Adult Elective Surgery by Sa Health The purpose of this document is to outline an optimal pathway for the pre-operative assessment of adults undergoing elective surgery in South Australian public hospitals. It aims for early differentiation of low and high risk patients to enable streaming of patients into the most appropriate care pathway. In doing so, a comprehensive assessment of the patient can be completed to identify risk factors and appropriately managed them.

The objective of this appendix is to explain how to conduct an Individual Patient Pathway Analysis (IPPA) from
individual healthcare data. This guidance is targeted for analysts to reason about and to implement the IPPA
in their intended setting. The IPPA was developed using the information on TB patients in the National Health
Insurance Research Database, Taiwan, though this guidance will indicate options to adapt to different data.
