Meghan Barker to oversee new H&P Clinic at Noyes

Preparing for a surgery can be a confusing, and nerve-wracking experience. UR Medicine Noyes Health is taking steps to make sure your pre-surgical experience goes as smoothly as possible with the addition of the Pre-Operative History and Physical Clinic.

Overseeing the clinic will be Meghan Barker, PA.

“My goal is to make sure patients understand everything they need to do before having surgery,” said Barker. “I want to take as much of the workload off patients and primary care physicians as possible. Often, before a procedure, patients need to see specialists to ensure they are healthy enough for an operation. I will be making those appointments, ensuring necessary tests and lab work is completed, reviewing charts, and performing physicals prior to surgery.”

Surgical staff at Noyes hope this new clinic will eliminate most same-day surgical cancellations. Currently, about one surgery per day is cancelled per day. Reasons for these cancellations range from not getting clearance from appropriate specialists to patients not understanding instructions and eating or taking some medications prior to arrival.

“This clinic will help improve efficiency in the OR,” said Dr. Chad Teeters, President and CEO of UR Medicine Noyes Health. “Meghan will be helping our patients along from beginning to end. She will ensure appropriate pre-op consultation and testing is complete to make pre-surgical risk as optimal as possible. Ultimately, this will lead to an increase in patient and staff satisfaction.”
The H&P Clinic will initially be working with the general and orthopaedic surgeries, but will roll out to other specialties over time.

A reduction in same-day cancellations will also lead to decreased wait time for patient looking to schedule surgeries.

Barker is a graduate of RIT and Arlington High School in Legrangeville, N.Y. She worked in the Noyes OR during her clinical rotation.

“I really love the people here,” said Barker. “Everyone I work with is so incredible, helpful, and genuinely wants to see me succeed. Noyes is the perfect size because you get to have the personal connection with the patients while still receiving the support the University of Rochester.

Barker currently lives in Honeoye Falls and in her spare time enjoys baking, country music and going to concerts. She also volunteers her time with the Special Olympic Softball team in Dansville.
