Summary

  • MY GOAL FOR MY NEXT COMMUNITY HOSPITAL: CREATE A MAGNET DESTINATION ORTHO SITE:

    Small hospitals are losing patients to facilities that offer certain “magnet” procedures. Two of these procedures are the anterior approach hip replacement and micro incision bunion surgery.

    A Belgium Group has perfected the EDA [Efficient Direct Anterior] Hip technique without a special table. The OR uses just one scrub nurse plus one surgeon assisted by inexpensive retractor holders. I’ve arranged to scrub in for a full day in Belgium June 18, 2019 and will take a class in Maryland.

    And of course, this is all dependent on interfacing carefully and respectfully with the Orthopods already on staff (a chance to use my Crucial Conversations Instructor training.)
