A sincere thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of MVC's #PreopTestingWeek! Your collaboration has been pivotal in advancing appropriate preoperative testing for patients in Michigan. For further information on #preoptesting, please visit: ritesizetesting.org

Despite research evidence that unnecessary preop testing is common, there isn't a clear answer about why it occurs - to increase the rate of appropriate testing for patients, talking to your care teams is an essential first step to understand the local problem. #PreopTestingWeek

Aligning preoperative testing expectations across clinical teams and actively engaging physicians has been shown to deliver optimal outcomes. Visit the RITE-Size website to download customizable resources to share with providers: ritesizetesting.org #PreopTestingWeek

Many providers see no harm in ordering preoperative tests and believe there are no benefits to reducing testing rates; however, data suggest otherwise. Reducing testing for patients undergoing low-risk surgery has proven benefits for patients and providers. #PreopTestingWeek

There is significant variation in preop testing rates across Michigan hospitals - averages range from 10%-97%. That level of variation suggests hospitals should revisit their institutional standards to ensure alignment with current testing recommendations. #PreopTestingWeek

Questioning standard practices is vital for improvement. Preoperative testing in low-risk surgeries often lacks clinical benefits yet remains common in Michigan hospitals. Eliminating these unnecessary tests can significantly enhance the value of surgical care. #PreopTestingWeek
