Operative Excellence in Mobile Surgery

Thursday, October 24, 2024

Sponsored by 
ACVS MOC

This seminar discusses in-depth all aspects of ACVS standards for mobile surgery including legal implications, standards of care, remote facility evaluation and selection, as well as learning from observations made by ACVS Diplomates that have crossed from mobile surgery to academic and private clinical non-mobile practice. Additionally, a panel discussion is held about limits of ACVS surgery on a mobile basis, recommended aftercare to maintain surgical excellence, and how to evaluate the standards of care for the mobile surgery we offer within the confines of general practices.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn about the legal implications - medical record maintenance, risk mitigation and liability for mobile practice.
  • Learn about how to maintain top level ACVS standards while providing surgical expertise in an uncontrolled environment.
  • Learn about what procedures could and should not be offered on a mobile surgical basis and manage decision making to maintain standards of care.
