We desperately want our ORs to be efficient. So do our surgeons. So why does it feel like productive engagement and communication is often easier said than done? As daunting as it may sometimes seem, engaging with our surgeons is crucial to improving efficiency, communication, and collaboration in the OR.
In this episode of First Case, we’re joined by orthopedic surgeon and DOCSI CMO Dr. Pearce McCarty, who offers an open and honest look at how perioperative staff can better engage with surgeons—without conflict, frustration, or being ignored. From the constant struggle with preference card accuracy to communication failures, we're going to discuss some of the real-life challenges we face in the OR.
Tune in to learn how to approach surgeons more effectively, start conversations that actually lead to change, improve preference card accuracy and reduce waste, and create more efficient, collaborative surgical teams. Don't miss this eye-opening conversation!
