The ABC’s (and 5 P’s) of TSA in the ASC:
Outpatient shoulder arthroplasty in free-standing Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC’s) is rapidly evolving to become a standard of practice. Many of the early challenges have been overcome by early adopters, many of whom are presenting in this dynamic and comprehensive session. Attendees of this special breakout will learn how to develop an outpatient shoulder arthroplasty program in a safe, efficient, and effective manner. If you are already performing TSA’s in ASC’s, methods to enhance your institution’s program will be presented. The content of this session has been designed to help surgeons better appreciate the subtleties of patient selection, pain management, product options, and payment pathways.
