The formula to calculate the Post-Op Date (P) is:
\[ P = S + R \]
Where:
A post-op date, or post-operative date, is the date on which a patient is expected to have recovered from surgery. This date is calculated based on the surgery date and the estimated recovery period. The post-op date is important for scheduling follow-up appointments, planning for return to work or normal activities, and monitoring the patient’s recovery progress.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the Post-Op Date:
\[ P = 2023-08-01 + 30 \text{ days} = 2023-08-31 \]
The Post-Op Date is 2023-08-31.
