🚨 Attention OR Leaders! 🚨Check this out! In this month's OutPatient Surgery Magazine, there's an article titled "Add to Your Surgical Packs to Cut Supply Costs." 🤔 This title made me suspicious! I've heard this argument from staff, surgeons, reps, and case pickers for years but never saw it come true.Has anyone demonstrated hard ROI in doing this? Prove your numbers, please! 📊💡#ORLeaders #Surgery #Healthcare #SupplyChain #CostReduction #HealthcareManagement #SurgicalPacks #ROI #Efficiency #OutPatientSurgery #HealthcareInnovation #HospitalManagement #SurgicalSupplies #MedicalRevolutionhttps://lnkd.in/gDyyyHaX

This may sound counter-intuitive but for patients who are self-funding toal joint replacement surgery, it is often CHEAPER for patients to choose a high volume subspecialist surgeon than a generalist who does far fewer hips/knees a year.This is because a major component of the overall cost is the hospital daily bed fee of approx $1,500/day. When patients have an anterior approach hip replacement with me we aim to get the patients HOME Day 1 post op. (Other approaches can obtain similar results.) However other patients are often in hospital for 4-5 days, followed by a period of inpatient rehab. The costs add up quickly. Therefore if high volume and lower volume surgeons charge approximately the same, the episode of care will often be cheaper with the high volume surgeon.My colleagues in America do hips as outpatient day cases. This just isn't supported by insurers in Australia yet.I enjoy getting patients up and home quickly and for self funding patients this can also mean a considerable cost saving. Hopefully insurers will also start to recognise the cost saving and pass it on to patients rather than just pocketing this as they do currently.#selffund #costsaving #hipreplacement #kneereplacement

Inside the mind of a surgeon…All the preparation is done.In the clinic, I have consulted with the patient and family, performed a physical examination and reviewed all the imaging. Once I detail all the possible risks and advantages to surgery, including the most minimally invasive techniques, we come to a decision. Together.The date has been set, consents signed, pre-operative studies are done, and insurance has approved the surgery. I speak with every patient and family the morning of surgery. The top three questions asked the morning of surgery are, “Did you eat your Wheaties this morning?” “Let me see your hands. Are they steady?” “Did you go out and party last night?”. As the anesthesia team rolls you back to the operating room, you ask yourself, “I wonder what my surgeon is thinking…”All it takes is a glance into the room, for me to notice if everything is in its place. As the captain of the ship, it is my duty to ensure all the equipment and staff are prepared for the surgery to go as efficiently as possible. In that instant, my world comes to a screeching halt.Surgeons are creatures of habit. We like to do things over and over in the same way, or as close to the same way as possible. If something differs in any way, then it is pretty easy to spot that difference and correct it.I have a little ritual that I perform right before surgery. I close my eyes. I steal a moment to center myself and prepare for the most important time of my day. I’ve done this thousands of times, so it would be easy to take it for granted. However, this patient has put their life in my hands. They have trusted me with their pain and with their future, their livelihood. I think about when I was a patient, and what it meant for me to have a surgeon that cared. I go through each major step of the surgery that I perform and visualize completion. I make the sign of the cross and give a profession of faith to God. I recite the same prayer. I ask for the focus, strength and compassion to treat my patient to the best of my ability. Finally, I ask myself this simple question. “How would I treat my Momma, if this was her on the table?”Dr. Samer ShamiehBoard Certified Orthopedic SurgeonFellowship Trained Spine Surgeon#avalahealth #spinehealth #spinecare #patientexperience #care

⭐️PREHAB Matters! We have seen significant benefits from our patients who come to PT 2-3 weeks before their surgery! Here’s why it matters: ↗️ Increased strength and flexibility going into surgery↗️ Reduce compensations with walking or guarding ↗️ Familiarity with clinic, staff, & equipment↗️ Learn and do exercises that you will be doing after surgery- builds muscle memory↗️Decrease fear and anxiety about what to expect↗️Build rapport with PT ↗️Decrease time in PT after surgery↗️Set goals and achieve desired functional outcomes⭐️If you are scheduled for a total or partial knee, hip, or shoulder reconstruction and you are given your operation date, ☎️ one of our locations and ask about setting up 2-3 weeks of PREHAB. Our Patient Care Coordinators will take it from there! ✍️Pro tip: it’s never too early to schedule. We sometimes operate with a 2-3 week waitlist, so as soon as you know your date, reach out! #physicaltherapy #prehab #postop #totaljointreplacement #totalkneereplacement #totalhipreplacement #totalshoulderreplacement #preventativehealth #physiotherapy
