Abstract

This handout, called a CareMap, shows what a patient may expect when scheduled for breast surgery at University of Washington Medical Center. Three different care plans are detailed, depending on the procedures that will be done -- for patients having wire localization only, for patients having lymph mapping only, and for patients having both procedures -- before their breast surgery. Check-in locations and other important processes are included.
