In this episode of the Advancing Surgical Care Podcast, ASCA Chief Executive Officer Bill Prentice talks with orthopedic surgeon and ASCA Board member David Weinstein, MD, about performing outpatient total shoulder surgeries in both hospitals and ASCs.Tens of thousands of patients with commercial insurance undergo safe, effective total shoulder surgeries in ASCs each year, saving themselves and their insurers millions of dollars. Yet the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has refused to extend its insurance coverage to ASCs—the less costly site of care and the one that most patients prefer. Dr. Weinstein discusses several clinical studies that include findings that support making this change, as well as his own experience performing thousands of shoulder surgeries, in this compelling case for finally allowing Medicare patients the same choice that private pay patients enjoy today.Dr. Weinstein is a graduate of the University of Colorado School of Medicine, where he completed his residency in orthopedic surgery, as well as an associate clinical professor at the University of Colorado Department of Orthopedics in Denver.

As she's now on the precipice of becoming a Pro Athlete at age 61 in the IFBB Bikini Division of Bodybuilding, we reflect on how doing the very thing she thought she could never do, unlocked everything she needed to elevate her life to places she always dreamed.

In this episode, cohosts Dr. Aaron Fritts and Dr. Krishna Mannava interview vascular surgeon Dr. Sean Hislop about building an ambulatory surgery center, including where to purchase property, how to plan your build, and how to prepare for expansion. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Medtronic OBL https://www.medtronic.com/obl --- SHOW NOTES We begin by discussing Dr. Hislop's current practice in Charleston, South Carolina. He is part of a group of eight vascular surgeons, and is also chief of vascular surgery at a local hospital. Their group has 8 offices, 2 of which are outpatient based labs (OBLs). They are currently working on building an ambulatory surgery center (ASC) that is projected to open in April 2023. Dr. Hislop describes how ownership of the ASC was determined. Five interested partners in their group used their personal funds (5 equal parts) and in turn all 5 are on the board of directors. They keep 100% of their profits and work with a local banker that they have built a trusted relationship with from their prior experience with OBLs. To plan for future expansion, each partner will devote a certain percentage of their shares which will go into a pot to provide shares for future partners to buy in. When it came to deciding where to buy property and build their ASC, they factored in weather, price, and proximity to patients. They did market research to evaluate where to build that would be close to their target patient population. They were able to find an affordable property in an area with a high concentration of retirees. Their LLC leased the land, and their practice leased space from the building owner. They built out one procedure room with a portable 9900 OEC C-arm, 4 prep and 4 recovery bays where patients can stay for up to 48 hours. South Carolina is a certificate of need (CON) state, meaning they had to apply for a CON to do all their procedures. Their current CON is procedure specific, not specialty specific, though it does not currently include coronary interventions. This allows them to bring in interventional cardiologists, interventional radiologists or podiatrists in the future. Lastly, Dr. Hislop talks about the hiring process in the ASC. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a huge surge in travel nursing, which has caused retention problems throughout the country. Dr. Hislop remarks that he has recently seen the tides shift back towards normal employment. He believes that in order to recruit and retain high quality staff, it is vital to understand the market and offer competitive salaries. Some of the benefits to working at an ASC instead of a hospital is the lack of nights, weekends, and call coverage. For Dr. Hislop and his partners, they believe that efficiency and work satisfaction are more important than a big financial outcome, which is why they are passionate about building this ASC. They believe it will provide a much better patient experience while also keeping physicians and staff happy. --- RESOURCES Ep. 193: Managing Supplies in your Outpatient Facility https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/193/managing-supplies-in-your-outpatient-facility Ep. 202: Staffing the OBL https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/202/staffing-the-obl

“So in general, an office-based lab might be more easy to stand up. There might be less cost associated with an OBL and fewer hurdles from the regulatory standpoint for a physician to jump over.” —Joel R. Rainwater, MDHost Roger T. Tomihama, MD, speaks with interventional radiologist Joel R. Rainwater, MD, about his experience building a network of 12 office-based labs (OBLs) in 5 states, what interventional radiologists should keep in mind when considering the OBL business model, opportunities for IRs-in-training, and more. Note: This episode was recorded on  Aug. 27, 2022.Contact us with your ideas and questions, or read more about about interventional radiology in IR Quarterly magazine or SIR's Patient Center.(c) Society of Interventional Radiology.Support the show

Holding injured children in her arms and helping transport them to a higher level of care at the University of Miami's mobile units was an experience that shaped her life moving forward. Working with vulnerable populations has been a professional goal of hers that she was able to fulfill in 2016 when she began giving anesthesia at the Indio Surgery Center to pediatric patients.

This podcast highlights original research published in the June 2020 issue of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, the official journal of the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) Foundation. Surgical care is increasingly shifting to freestanding ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs). The extent to which otolaryngologists use ASCs has implications for patient safety and health care spending. This study characterizes trends in utilization and resultant financial implications for common otolaryngologic procedures performed at ASC and hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs). In conclusion, otolaryngologists shifted outpatient surgical care from HOPDs to ASCs between 2010 and 2017, with resultant reductions in Medicare expenditures. Further research is necessary to examine the impact of this shift on patient safety.   Click here to read the full article.

As a first-mover in telehealth, Dr. Sloan talks about what her experience has been. She lays out examples of when telehealth for pre-consults is important.Andy Poole talks about how to establish trust using telehealth. He explains that this initial conversation is a critical relationship builder before a patient goes into surgery. Are post-surgery consults filling your waiting room? While telehealth is not a one size fits all, where does it work? As value-based care becomes used more in healthcare organizations, the concern of unnecessary ER visits is prominent. Where do we see telehealth helping reduce ER admissions? With the rise of assisted living, long term care, and home health, social determinants such as transportation issues and cost will only continue to increase.
