Transparency in IOM

Neuromonitoring is infamously opaque. Its often the case that NPs and managers struggle to relay truthful information to our surgeon partners because they have a lack of understanding themselves.

Whether by design or just a flaw in the system, what can we do to fix this?

More importantly – administrators and surgeons.. do you feel a…

Out to Sea - Supply Chain

As the world adapts to the changes brought on by COVID-19, supply chain and it’s functions have been continuously in the news: shortages in toilet paper due to panic buying and hoarding, the massive global demand surge for personal protective equipment (PPE), reports of food shortages, complicated ultra-cold storage networks for vaccines and…

Reply to GPO's

The report found at the Federal Trade Commission regarding Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) is an excellent source for detailed information about GPOs. It’s important to note that GPOs are not specific to healthcare and are found in numerous other industries. Data from numerous reports show that GPOs contribute to significant reductions in…

I keep a reasonably accurate running list of FDA actions/warning letters in the Orthobiologics field in the USA. FDA Warning Letters give insight into best clinical practices and how to stay compliant with FDA guidelines that sometimes are unclear. Most of the actions over the past 5 years have been regarding amniotic fluid, stem cell…

I’m curious if anyone in the group does virtual surgery internationally. There are many companies and technologies out there that allow a surgeon to watch and teach another surgeon in another country. Are there specific rules and regulations that we should know about if a surgeon is “virtually assisting” another surgeon in another country?

Great idea for a group. Looking forward to hearing about the disruptive ideas that come out of this.

I am curious to hear what group members feel is the barrier to outpatient spine surgery?

Is it surgeon education?

Patient awareness?

Cost?

Reply to Bringing Physicians (and other medical staff) and IT closer

I have worked in a number of digital startup and if you watch the number of investors in this arena it is a little disturbing. Most of the startups are on a path to get rich instead of a path to really solve complex healthcare problems. Just look at the number of companies that do the exact same thing and believe they have the secret sauce…
