- Prehabilitation (Prehab) Program Referral Order
The AHS Prehabilitation (Prehab) Program provides prehabilitation services for Albertans 18 years and older who are waiting for surgery. As of May 6, 2025, a new "Prehab Program" section will be added to eleven Preprocedure Adult order sets in Connect Care, so prescribers (or their MOAs) can easily place an ambulatory referral to prehabilitation. The addition of this section will have no impact to personalization of the affected order sets.
To place an order for referral to prehabilitation using a Connect Care pre-op order set:
- Open Prep for Procedure and find the patient.
- In the order set, under the "General" section, find the new "Prehab Program" section. Click "Ambulatory Referral to Rehabilitation" (click the camera icon below to see a screenshot).
- In the Ambulatory Referral to Rehabilitation order that opens:
- The "To Department" field will be prefilled with "AHS PROV PREHABILITATION" and the "Reason" field with "Prehabilitation". Leave these as is.
- In the "Comments" field, enter "prehab" or "prehabilitation" (this is a hardstop).
- Sign the orders.
