Pre and Post-Operative Care Platform
Reduce readmissions. Track recovery. Detect complications early.
Surgery can be unpredictable for patients due to anxiety, symptom fluctuations, and complication risks. CareClinic helps surgical practices manage pre-operative preparation and post-operative recovery through real-time patient tracking, smart alerts, and personalized care plans that adapt as recovery progresses.
Transform Surgical Care Delivery
Remote surgical care monitoring reduces hospital readmissions by up to 35% and catches complications 3-5 days earlier than traditional follow-up schedules through continuous patient engagement and automated alerts.
Reduce Hospital Readmissions
Smart alerts and dashboards monitor patients post-surgery to catch early signs of complications like infections, wound dehiscence, or medication reactions. Proactive interventions help prevent costly readmissions and ED visits, improving patient outcomes while reducing hospital penalties.
Pre-Operative Patient Education
Pre-operative education including videos and interactive digital content helps alleviate patient anxiety and uncertainty before surgery. Personalized care plans provide patients with clear expectations, reducing last-minute cancellations and improving surgical readiness through better preparation.
Real-Time Recovery Monitoring
Patients track post-operative progress including vital signs, pain levels, wound healing, and medication adherence through the mobile app. Care teams receive timely interventions based on real-time data, enabling early detection of complications and personalized recovery support.
Empower Patient Self-Care
Automated self-care education and just-in-time reminders empower patients to actively manage their recovery. Clear guidance on wound care, activity restrictions, and medication schedules helps patients feel supported between appointments, leading to better adherence and more positive recovery experiences.
Surgical Care Tracking Benefits
From surgical practices to patients preparing for procedures, CareClinic provides solutions for every stakeholder in the perioperative care journey.
Surgeons and Surgical Practices

Healthcare Organizations
Health systems and surgical centers use CareClinic to improve quality metrics, reduce 30-day readmission penalties, and demonstrate value-based care outcomes. Population health analytics identify high-risk patients requiring additional support while automated protocols standardize care delivery across surgeons.
- Reduce CMS readmission penalties
- Improve HCAHPS patient satisfaction scores
- Standardize perioperative care protocols
- Track outcomes for quality reporting
Patients
Patients receive personalized pre-operative education to reduce anxiety about their procedure. Post-surgery, the mobile app guides recovery with medication reminders, wound care instructions, and activity milestones. Automated symptom tracking helps patients identify concerning changes and know when to contact their surgical team.
- Access video education about your procedure
- Track pain, medications, and recovery milestones
- Know what symptoms require immediate attention
- Share progress with your surgical team
Care Coordinators and Nurses
Nursing staff use the provider dashboard to triage patient issues, coordinate follow-up appointments, and manage post-discharge phone calls efficiently. Automated patient check-ins reduce administrative workload while ensuring no patient is lost to follow-up during the critical post-operative window.
- Triage patient alerts by severity
- Automate routine post-op check-ins
- Coordinate follow-up appointments
- Document patient interactions
Pre-Operative Care
Prepare patients for surgery with personalized education, readiness checklists, and anxiety reduction tools that improve outcomes and reduce last-minute cancellations.
Surgery Education Videos
Patients access videos and interactive educational content explaining their procedure, what to expect, and how to prepare. This personalized approach reduces anxiety and uncertainty, helping patients feel more informed and confident going into surgery.
Surgical Readiness Checklists
Automated reminders guide patients through pre-operative requirements like fasting, medication adjustments, and arrival times. Just-in-time education ensures patients complete all necessary steps, reducing day-of-surgery delays and cancellations due to poor preparation.
Surgical Risk Assessment
Pre-operative health assessments capture baseline vital signs, comorbidities, and risk factors that inform surgical planning. Validated questionnaires identify patients requiring additional prehabilitation or optimization before their procedure.
Pre-Surgery Anxiety Support
Pre-surgery anxiety is common and can impact outcomes. Mood tracking tools and relaxation techniques help patients manage stress. Soundscapes and guided meditation exercises prepare patients mentally for their surgical experience.
Post-Operative Recovery Monitoring
Track patient recovery, detect complications early, and provide automated education that empowers patients to manage their post-surgical care safely at home.
Wound Healing Documentation
Patients photograph surgical wounds and incision sites directly in the app, allowing care teams to visually assess healing progress remotely. Early detection of redness, swelling, or drainage helps prevent infections and wound complications requiring readmission.
Vital Signs and Pain Tracking
Track temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and pain levels post-surgery. Automated alerts notify providers when vital signs fall outside acceptable ranges or pain remains uncontrolled, enabling timely interventions before complications escalate.
Post-Surgery Medication Management
Medication reminders ensure patients take antibiotics, pain medications, and other prescriptions on schedule. Track adherence rates and receive alerts when patients miss critical doses, reducing infection risk and improving pain control during recovery.
Activity and Mobility Tracking
Monitor patient activity levels to ensure appropriate mobility during recovery. Track steps, exercise completion, and physical therapy adherence. Early mobilization prevents complications like blood clots while respecting activity restrictions specific to each procedure type.
Early Complication Detection
Smart algorithms analyze patient-reported data to identify early warning signs of post-surgical complications including infection, bleeding, respiratory issues, or medication reactions. Immediate provider notifications enable intervention 3-5 days earlier than traditional follow-up schedules.
Recovery Education Materials
Patients receive personalized recovery guidance based on their procedure type and progress. Automated education covers wound care, diet progression, activity restrictions, and symptom management, empowering patients with confidence to manage recovery between appointments.
Patient-Reported Outcomes
Collect validated patient-reported outcome measures before and after surgery to track recovery, identify issues, and demonstrate treatment effectiveness.
Pain Scale Tracking
Monitor pain levels pre and post-surgery using standardized pain scales. Track pain severity, location, and medication effectiveness. Longitudinal pain data helps care teams adjust analgesic regimens and identify patients experiencing inadequate pain control.
Protocol Compliance Tracking
Track patient adherence to post-operative protocols including wound care, activity restrictions, diet progressions, and follow-up appointments. Compliance data identifies patients needing additional support and demonstrates protocol effectiveness for quality improvement initiatives.
Validated Outcome Measures
Deploy procedure-specific validated outcome measures like PROMIS scales, quality of life assessments, and functional recovery questionnaires. PRO data supports research, quality reporting, and demonstrates treatment value for payers and patients.
Empower Patient Understanding
Patient-reported outcomes help individuals understand their own recovery progress and set realistic expectations. By providing patients with clear, actionable data about their healing journey, the app empowers them to take active roles in their care decisions. Patients who understand their progress demonstrate better adherence to recovery protocols and experience more positive outcomes overall.
