ENSURE ADEQUATE SUPPLY LINE Sign on implant vendor as integral team member - Ensure adequate implant inventory and instrumentation Streamline operating set up (drapes, instruments, etc.) Arrange sufficient supply of power tools PRE OP EDUCATION Begins with initial consultation Office Patient Educator Printed Literature Video- DVD Office Web Site DISCHARGE PLANNING Must be open minded and flexible Arrangements must be made well in advance 10
STARTING OUT Thin patient Small-medium canal diameter Minimal deformity Atrophic arthritis Crowe I or 2 Younger Motivated ARS Consistently successful ambulatory TJA requires that the surgeon be 1Fast 2Predictable 3Maximally minimally invasive 4Very busy ARS Which of the following is most important in patient selection for outpatient TJA? 1. Patient motivation 2. Patient support system at home 3. Manageable post op environment 4. All of the above 11
ARS Obstacles to performing ambulatory TJA in a hospital setting include 1. Institutional resistance to change 2. Ingrained nursing staff bias 3. Inadequate availability of sufficient physical therapy 4. All of the above ARS Which of the following is required to ensure successful outpatient TJA? 1. Minimal arthritic deformity 2. Muscle sparing surgical approach 3. Early office contact and follow up 4. Local use of Bupivicaine Liposome injectable suspension STARTING OUT Progress gradually and intelligently Achieve consistent same day success in-hospital BEFORE moving to an ASC 12
BOTTOM LINE Familiar surgical technique Not a steep learning curve Multiple patient benefits Potential benefits to the entire healthcare delivery system WELCOME TO THE FUTURE! THANK YOU 13
