Download or read book Quality Spine Care written by John Ratliff and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality reporting is a rapidly growing area. Each year, new regulations in the US from the Council of Medicare and Medicaid Services make quality reporting a larger factor in determining reimbursement practices. Quality metrics are common parts of European clinical practice. Value of care is a focus of all payers, with specific interest directed at assessing the quality of care provided by a given healthcare team. While there are many publications in this space, no text has sought to provide an overview of quality in spine care. Quality measurement and quality reporting are ever growing aspects of the healthcare environment. Quality assessment is valuable to all healthcare stakeholders: patients, physicians, facilities, and payers. Patients are drawn to facilities that provide high value care; public reporting systems and grading systems for hospitals offer one opinion with regard to “high quality care.” Most physicians email inboxes are inundated with offers of recognition for being a “Top Doc” for a nominal fee. Some payers offer incentives to patients who chose to be treated at “Centers of Excellence” or similar facilities; the definition of “Excellence” may be unclear. There is little consensus on how to measure quality, how to incorporate patient and procedure factors and achieve accurate risk adjustment, and how to define value of care. Regardless of these challenges, regulatory efforts in the US, as well as numerous international efforts, make quality assessment and quality reporting an important part of physician behaviour. Physician and facility reimbursement for procedures are often tied to quality metrics. Spine procedures are costly, elective, and are a focus of many payer-based programs. Hence, spine care is often a focus of quality reporting efforts. This text summarizes the state of the art with regard to quality measurement, reporting, and value assessment in spine care. We will review quality reporting in the US and internationally. Chapters will outline how quality improvement efforts have achieved success in hospital systems. The reader will be provided with insights in how to achieve success incorporating quality metrics into spine care. Features: 1. Illustrates the state of the art in spine quality reporting: There is no text that thoroughly addresses quality assessment and quality reporting in spine care; there are, however, numerous articles in this space. This book provides a definitive text covering the state of the art for quality reporting in spine care and will be of value to the international orthopedic and neurosurgical spine community. 2. Provides insight on quality reporting in different healthcare systems: The text will allow for comparison of different quality reporting systems from different health care systems. This will provide practitioners with insight into the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches to quality reporting, and may drive improvement in quality assessment and reporting systems. A single text that features review of US, European, and Australia/Asian health care systems’ quality reporting is novel and will be thought provoking for readers. 3. Describes the US and international Healthcare reimbursement systems: Practicing physicians are provided with little information and less insight into the vagaries of the US and other healthcare systems. The text will provide insight into code development, valuation, and how quality reporting affects physician reimbursement 4. Explains risk adjustment: Appropriate risk adjustment and assessing patient and procedure factors that may impact quality reporting are invaluable to accurate quality measurement. The text will review risk adjustment, different approaches to risk assessment/mitigation, and provide physicians with insights into appropriate measures to capture in their clinical practices 5. Provides a foundation for improved quality assessment in spine care: While there are many disparate elements and differing approaches to capturing spine quality metrics, no definitive text has attempted to summarize these efforts in a single volume. By synthesizing these variable approaches, the reader may be provided with insights into superior approaches to quality assessment and a foundation will be provided for improving healthcare systems.

Book Update in Minimally Invasive Spine  mis  Surgery

Download or read book Update in Minimally Invasive Spine mis Surgery written by James D. Bruffey and published by . This book was released on 2011-06-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new reference text: Update in Minimally Invasive Spine (MIS) Surgery: Clinical Examples of Anatomy, Indications, and Surgical Techniques, the editors attempt to give the reader a snapshot of this fast-moving field by discussing topics of applied clinical spinal anatomy, clinical indications and outcomes for MIS surgery, instrumentation and biomechanics, adjacent level disease, and fusion biology as well as management of clinical complications and strategies for revision surgeries.In the past spinal fusion meant long incisions, significant blood loss, prolonged hospitalization and recovery, along with persistent pain, less mobility, and limited return to function. Recently, however, less-traumatizing techniques have found their way into mainstream spinal surgery and are being increasingly accepted as alternatives to traditional open procedures. These new concepts of minimally invasive techniques have emerged and are withstanding the test of time. Consequently, there is increasing interest among spine surgeons to apply MIS approaches to common clinical problems.Examples of these new trends include: advanced endoscopic and percutaneous techniques to remove a herniated disc, treat spinal stenosis, debride spinal infections, and the emergence of percutaneous adjunctive procedures to spinal fusion. Other advances include percutaneous pedicle screw application instead of open screw placement and minimal invasive decompressions through small, percutaneously placed tubes instead of open, wide laminectomy procedures through large incisions. In addition, minimally invasive techniques are now aided by computerized navigation systems. Moreover, advances in osteobiologics have increasingly obviated the need for autologous bone graft harvest, which has greatly enhanced the benefits of minimally invasive spinal surgery.On the other hand, complications have been reported with the routine use of MIS techniques, such as transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) through small access portal or direct lumbar interbody fusion (DLIF) through a mini-direct, lateral access. In other words, the field of minimally invasive spinal surgery continues to emerge and is expected to change rapidly as new technologies surface. We have, therefore, taken a multidisciplinary approach by representing aspects ranging from anatomy, biomechanics and biologics, to surgical techniques and clinical outcome research with respect to state-of-the art technologies as well as biomaterials in reconstructive procedures of the spine. Chapters are focused on the description of the clinical indications, surgical techniques, and clinical outcome assessments by discussing standards in analytical methodology and quality control. Specific clinical examples are at the heart of this new reference text to illustrate the development of new devices and materials capable of improving minimally invasive spinal surgery.We hope you find this text to be a valuable update in the discussion of MIS techniques in spinal surgery.
