JBJS Webinar: Patient Discharge after Knee Replacement: How Soon Is Safe? Registration

Start Date:10/1/2019

Start Time:8:00 PM EDT

Duration:60 minutes

Abstract:

For many patients and payers, getting out of the hospital as quickly as possible after a knee replacement is very important. Both patients and surgeons want to make sure the timing of hospital discharge doesn’t adversely affect safety. For orthopaedic surgeons, excellent patient outcomes are the top priority. The latest one-hour complimentary webinar from JBJS will reveal clinical practices that increase the odds of achieving all of those goals.
By exploring data from their JBJS study comparing complication rates after outpatient and inpatient knee-replacement procedures, co-authors Nelson SooHoo, MD and Armin Arshi, MD emphasize that outpatients must receive the same attention to infection prevention, thromboprophylaxis, and rehabilitation as inpatients.
Kurt Spindler, MD and Robert Molloy, MD will then delve into findings from another JBJS study that suggests that hospital site, surgeon, and day of the week of surgery are more accurate predictors of length of hospital stay after knee replacement than patient factors such as age, BMI, and comorbidities.
Moderated by Daniel Berry, MD of the Mayo Clinic, the webinar will also feature expert commentaries on the two author-led presentations. Joseph Moskal, MD will comment on the outpatient-surgery paper and Ronald Delanois, MD will weigh in on the length-of-stay paper.
The webinar will conclude with a 15-minute live Q&A session during which attendees can ask questions of all the panelists.
