Brief Summary

When presenting for elective surgery, patient's often do not completely understand the role that the anesthesiology team plays in their care. In 1999, the American Medical Association (AMA) found that health literacy was a stronger predictor of a person's health than age, income, education level and race. It is very important that the investigators provide information to patients on the role of anesthesiologists in their care before, during, and after the surgery as it has been shown to improve patient anxiety and overall satisfaction.
