Tips on how to manage a successful SDS program

In the current regulatory and reimbursement environment, managing an outpatient surgery program can be overwhelming. For help on costing surgical procedures, containing costs, and surviving reimbursement changes, among other topics, attend the Seventh Annual Same-Day Surgery Conference March 4-6 in Orlando.

The conference is sponsored by American Health Consultants, publisher of Hospital Infection Control.

Topics include advice on reprocessing, antibiotic resistance, hazards in the workplace, achievement of excellence, surgical trends and new technologies, accreditation, risk management, medical errors, the nursing shortage, the outpatient prospective payment system, and employee motivation. The conference includes opportunities to network with your peers at lunches and a reception, as well as a Downtown Disney excursion.
