Pre-Surgical Assessment

To start the pre-surgical assessment process, Commonwealth Orthopaedics Outpatient Surgery Center requests that you fill out your medical history online with One Medical Passport. We recommend that you enter your medical history online as soon as your surgery has been scheduled. Once you do this, our Pre-Surgical Assessment nurse will be able to access the information you entered online. This information will assist the nurse in organizing and documenting your complete medical history to prepare for your surgery.

Be sure to have the following information available before starting your Medical Passport:

• Your health insurance information.
• The names, addresses and phone numbers of your physicians.
• A list of all medications you are taking, their dosage and frequency.
• A list of surgical procedures you have ever had and their approximate dates.

About One Medical Passport

Completing your medical history on One Medical Passport is easy. For most patients, filling out the entire questionnaire takes less than 30 minutes. Please fill out the questionnaire accurately. All of your information is kept confidential and will be thoroughly reviewed by your medical team. At any time, you can quit filling out the questionnaire and come back and complete the unfinished portion at a more convenient time.

One Medical Passport is a secure website that is HIPAA compliant. It allows you to enter your information at any time from anywhere. You can also print out a copy of your medical history after you create it online and keep it with you with your other health care documents, as well as have access to it online anytime you need it or want to update it.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is the system secure?

Do I need special computer software?

No – all you need is a PC with an internet connection.

Do I have to complete a Medical Passport all at one time, or can I start and stop and restart it?

You can quit and restart as much as you need to.
