Key strategies to prevent post-operative complications/risks

Pain management techniques to meet realistic patient goals

Joint replacement surgeries have become common place – over a million performed per year. Paul M. Levy, MSN, BS, RN, ONC is excited to share his expertise in orthopedics to provide a better understanding of Total Joint Replacement Surgery:

Pre-operative diagnosis: When is it time for surgery? Alternative treatments?
Multiple joint replacements & the implications of each
The key to preventing post-operative complications/risks
All the options: Megaprosthetic replacements, fixations, joint revisions…
Achieving success: Rehabilitation goals and discharge planning

Recent changes to CMS reimbursement (Value Based Purchasing or VBP) processes have put a premium on ensuring patient satisfaction is achieved. Failure to meet baseline measurements in HCAHPS scores will result in decreased reimbursements for hospitals. In addition, 30-day readmission rates also will affect VBP scores. This recording will provide strategies to address the following areas that can impact VBP:

Co-morbidity – discussion of medical management of preexisting conditions
Pain Management – setting and meeting realistic pain management goals
Communication – focus on patient education and follow-up care
Readmission – focus on tools to reduce infection and post-operative complications

This recording will leave with you a clear understanding of the entire process from start to finish for total joint patients. This will in turn allow interdisciplinary healthcare professionals to help their patients better understand the process, have realistic expectations, and improved satisfaction following surgical interventions.
