A Prehabilitation Guide for All Providers

As more medical professionals recognize the intuitive benefits of prehabilitation, there is a need to pull best practices that exist across the literature and set a multimodal standard of care. This innovative book fills this need and provides a ( should we say "the most"? ) comprehensive guide to prehabilitation.

Authored by experts in each area of surgery, perioperative care, and rehabilitation medicine, the book's chapters introduce the concept of prehabilitation and describe the current medical optimization strategies, unique patient considerations, and the continuum of care for each procedural population. This text provides data from the existing literature on typical programs' impact on outcomes and complication rates, and it proposes detailed treatment plans for providers to incorporate into practice.

A Prehabilitation Guide for All Providers explores actionable insights for a broad audience, including primary care physicians, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists, as well as non-clinical professionals in policy-driving positions such as hospital administration or governmental organizations.
