Specialty Teams in the OR
There are many definitions of what OR specialty teams
really are. It may be staff who consistently work in
the same service or for the same physician but don’t
take call for that service or physician. It may be
an exclusive team that only works for that service
or physician and takes call exclusively for that specialty.
Is a team a full complement of staff who work in the
OR or just a specific few who maintain expertise in
particularly complex cases in that specialty? Do teams
receive special education, schedules, or compensation?
More importantly, by what metrics are these teams evaluated
in terms of quality, efficiency, cost, and benefit?
During this webinar, we will explore these questions
and discuss what works, what doesn’t and how
to tell if specialty teams are working or will work
for you.
This is an hour-long webinar. Fee: $149
Leaders: Christie
Dempsey, RN, MBA, CNOR, Senior Vice
President of Clinical Operations, Patient Flow, Press
