Transitioning spine cases into the ambulatory surgery center takes time and effort from the spine surgeon, and selecting the right team can make a big difference. By selecting the team that works together, everything flows better, says Chris Zorn, vice president of sales for Spine Surgical Innovation and executive director of Minimal Incision-Maximum Sight (MIMS) Institute. You should rarely see rotation of OR staff during a procedure. "In many hospital ORs outside of the United States, a team has come together because they like the type of cases and who they work with it seems," says Mr. Zorn. "Obviously no surgeon will be forced to work with team members he/she doesn't want in room, anywhere. In ASCs you are recruiting the best you know. It matters."
