MyPreAssess brings the MyPreConsult approach to surgical pre-assessment. Patients complete an adaptive, structured digital assessment soon after being listed for surgery, so the clinical team identifies relevant risk factors, optimisation needs and the appropriate level of review earlier in the pathway.
From decision to operate
A larger surgery-ready pool
The capacity constraint
Pre-assessment capacity can become a limiting step in surgical throughput. Paper and fixed digital questionnaires collect information, but they do not adapt to the patient or prepare the clinical review.
Important optimisation needs are then identified late, when they are more likely to delay surgery or contribute to cancellation. MyPreAssess moves that work upstream.
Three practical gains
Capture relevant medical history, medications, functional status and perioperative risk factors soon after the decision to operate.
Support locally agreed, clinician-led pathways so straightforward patients follow a streamlined route and scarce specialist time is focused on patients who need it most.
Create a larger cohort of patients who are fully assessed and ready when theatre capacity becomes available.
The pathway
The assessment happens early enough to change the pathway, not simply document a problem when the operation date is already close.
The locally agreed assessment is issued early, rather than waiting until an operation date is close.
The patient completes it remotely, without an app. Questions adapt to the information they provide.
Relevant history, medicines, function and risk factors are organised and ready for the team.
The clinical team decides whether review, optimisation or investigations are needed.
Assessment status is visible before a theatre date is committed.
GIRFT alignment
MyPreAssess supports GIRFT principles of early screening and risk assessment, patient optimisation, standardised pre-operative pathways, proportionate testing and focusing specialist capacity on higher-risk patients.

MyPreAssess structures information for clinical review. It does not autonomously clear a patient for surgery, determine clinical priority, order investigations or replace clinical judgement.
