Summary
In this episode of the ASC Podcast with John Goehle, we run through the ASC news that matters — a sweeping CMS enrollment proposal, the anesthesia squeeze, and more — plus a few things we've been seeing out in the field. Then John sits down with two veteran pharmacy consultants for a practical look at medication safety in the surgery center, from patient screening to drug diversion to malignant-hyperthermia readiness. This episode is sponsored by Surgical Information Systems, RFX Solutions, Medserve and Ambulatory Healthcare Strategies.
