Description: Join us for our Surgical Patient Optimization webinar series, co-hosted by the Bree Collaborative and the Surgical and Spine COAP. Throughout the series, we will explore key strategies to prepare patients for surgery and promote positive perioperative outcomes.

This session highlights practical, respectful approaches to caring for patients who decline blood products. A clinician will share a case study on anemia optimization for a patient whose cultural beliefs required a bloodless surgical plan, while our second speaker will discuss supportive strategies that honor patient values and promote strong surgical outcomes. Attendees will learn how collaborative, culturally informed care can help patients receive the treatment they need while maintaining autonomy and dignity.

Speakers:
  • Edie P. Shen, MD-Perioperative Internist, Harborview Medical Center

  • Micah Quintrall- HOSPITAL LIAISON COMMITTEE, HLC for JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES

We intend to record this event. The event recording will be accessible on our website.
