ABSTRACT
Prior work suggested that telephone follow-up could be used in lieu of in-person follow-up after surgery, saving patients time and travel while improving utilization of scarce surgeon and facility resources. We report our experience implementing and evaluating telephone postoperative follow-up within an integrated health system.
