Adding, Updating and Expanding Neuroscience and Spine Centers of Excellence for Hospitals and Health SystemsOctober 7-9, 2015 Chattanooga, Tennessee11:00AM-12:00PMBuilding blocks a comprehensive spine care OF THE FUTUREThe presentation will focus on the essential elements of a comprehensive spine program. Changes in spine care reimbursement, treatment settings and theimpact of payer-led initiatives to define quality have altered expectations for the delivery of coordinated non-operative and surgical spine care. The presenterswill identify common barriers to effective development of a comprehensive spine service line and explore the elements of a successful service line.Attendees will learn: Industry trends that are influencing thedelivery and reimbursement of spine care Opportunities to incorporate andleverage Physiatry & Non-Surgical Spine How to define and offer “comprehensive”spine care within your community Best practices to engage your key spinecare providers How to understand and assess the spinecare assets and gaps within yourorganizationPatrick Vega, MS, Client Executive DirectorStryker Performance SolutionsAs a Client Executive, Patrick partners with physician leadership and hospital C-suite customers to align their needs with the most appropriate and impactful StrykerPerformance Solutions offering.

We want to ensure we are consistently achieving our goal of door to treatment in 90 minutes. We implemented a dedicated stroke nurse that is responsible for coordinating the care of stroke patients from the ED to IR (if they qualify).Implementing this role, has provided constancy within the hospital system, increased patient volume, decreased door to treatment times, decreasedlength of stay, and improved patient outcomes. We have shifted from a sequential workflow process to a parallel workflow process by unitingmultiple key departments needed in stroke care, which resulted in a reduction of our door to treatment times of 50 minutes year to date.Attendees will learn how to: Utilizing a highly trained stroke nurse tocoordinate care Convert a sequential workflow process toa parallel workflow process in order toexpedite treatment Decrease treatment times, length of stay,and improve patient outcome by unitingkey departments (ED, imaging, IR)Erin Bonwit, MBA, BSN, RN, Stroke NurseFlorida Hospital Neuroscience InstituteErin started her career as an Emergency Room nurse, moving into management within the Emergency Department.
