Call for questions: Surgical hospitalist webcast airs next week
Hospitalist Leadership Connection, May 19, 2009
A crisis in access to emergency surgical care has emerged during the past decade, according to John Nelson, MD, FACP, and John Maa, MD, FACS, speakers for an upcoming HCPro Web cast, entitled, “Surgical Hospitalist Practice: Strategies for Building and Operating a Successful Practice.”
This crisis jeopardizes the ability of patients to receive optimal care in a timely and safe manner in EDs across the nation, say Nelson and Maa. With patient volume and complexity rising, the number of uninsured and underinsured patients parallels this upward trend.
What can hospitalist leaders do? The traditional surgical call coverage models prove challenging with a lack of 24/7 surgeons. The key is to propose solutions to the national crisis that promote efficiency, safety, and quality outcomes.
Get your questions answered by two pioneers in the movement by tuning in to the Web cast, which airs on May 28. Send your surgical hospitalist questions in advance to kcheung@hcpro.com. Please be brief and specific. You may also submit your questions during the live session.
