✅Lunch with the expert! Professor Ulrica Nilsson was in the spotlight yesterday where she discussed her research with clinicians at the “lunch with an expert”: “The recovery of patients after surgery is a complex and individualized process, involving not only physical symptoms but also emotional, social, and habitual factors. I think it’s important to have a comprehensive understanding of all these aspects in order to better support and understand the patient. We need to systematically monitor these aspects not only during the hospital stay but also as the patient recovers at home.” #postoperativerecovery #perioperativemedicine #postoperativecare

In the January 2024 issue of OR Manager, the article "Meeting the SPD Staffing Challenge" features advice and recommendations from Sullivan's senior consultant, Matthew Box, MMHC, CRCST, CHMMC. He suggests the SPD staff schedule needs to reflect OR workflow patterns rather than match OR shifts. "What works best is to ramp up throughout the day to meet the instrument volume coming from surgery, with overlap of shifts in the afternoon, then start moving downward in the evening unless you are a large university system that does surgeries all night long."
