Highlights from Symposium 2017
"Envisioning the future of the ophthalmic ASC"
This November 11 meeting spotlighted some high-impact topics affecting ophthalmic ASCs, and offered attendees the opportunity to collaboratively develop real-world solutions.
Chapter One: D.C. Debriefing
"OOSS is the only organization with no other purpose but representing you and your patients."
Washington Counsel Michael A. Romansky, J.D., divulges D.C. legislative updates on office-based cataract surgery, the patient volume proposition within ASC and HOPD reimbursement rates, ASC Quality Reporting measures, the OAS CAHPS survey, sterilization policy, and the Ambulatory Surgical Center Quality and Access Act of 2017 (HR 1838).
Chapter Two: Envisioning a Healthy Ophthalmic ASC
"How are your staff doing? Are they motivated? Are they burning out?"
Biomedical engineering researcher, author of "The Healthy Office Revolution," and keynote speaker Elizabeth Nelson shares her longitudinal research on bioengineering the work environment to balance life and work, to decrease employee burnout. Nelson's findings reveal certain variables within the ophthalmic ASC which, if improved, may significantly enhance the ASC function as well as patient care.
Chapter Three: OOSS Scholars Program Update
"How do we engage a young ophthalmologist?"
OOSS President Jeffrey Whitman, MD; OOSS President Emeritus and OOSS Gives Committee Chair Brad Black, MD; and OOSS Member Services Consultant Albert Castillo, MD, introduce a new program for young ophthalmologists called OOSS Scholars, disclosing program benefits and the first round of selected recipients.
Chapter Four: Envision Workshop Summary 2017
Using the "people, place, and process" framework outlined in Elizabeth Nelson's keynote session, we developed a set of workshop materials to guide participants through the process of assessing their current ASC and imagining innovative solutions to the challenges faced.
