S6E04 - Returning to Work Responsibly: AAOS Guidelines

There is no doubt that COVID-19 is the ultimate disruptor and accelerator of 2020. It has disrupted almost all aspects of our lives, especially healthcare, and though we'll find a cure, we will never be the same as before. In this episode, we'll learn the changes to individual orthopedics practices and the changes the academy is implementing to cope with the aftereffect of the pandemic.  We are honored to feature Dr. Joe Bosco, the president of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Joe discusses how we are going to survive in the post COVID-19 era, of the accelerated trends in healthcare consolidation, distance learning, shift to outpatient care, and more telemedicine.  Get ready for the new normal with the help of ideas you'll get from this podcast! Tune in and listen to the fantastic Dr. Joe Bosco today.  Today's Guest Joseph A. Bosco III, MD, is the current president of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS). Prior to this assignment, he served as the first vice-president of the academy. Dr. Joe is also a professor and vice-chair for the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at NYU Langone Health. He specializes in sports medicine, total knee replacement, shoulder and elbow surgery. Dr. Bosco earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Union College in Schenectady, New York, and attended the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont in Burlington. He completed an internship in general surgery and a residency in orthopaedics at the University of North Carolina Medical Center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and his fellowship in adult reconstructive surgery at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Key Takeaways: We will emerge strong in the post-COVID era and adopt to "the new normal". COVID is the quintessential disruptor, and it is also accelerating progress. The pandemic is weeding out the weaker businesses.  Resources: https://www.aaos.org/aaosnow/2020/apr/youraaos/youraaos03/

The Digital Orthopaedics Conference San Francisco (DOCSF) was created to bridge the worlds of digital health and clinical orthopaedics and thereby catalyze the adoption of technology in musculoskeletal care. This podcast series features key speakers and highlights from the live event. Why orthopaedics? We believe that embedding digital technologies in a narrow integrated vertical is more likely to affect change than targeting one-fifth of the U.S. economy. We also believe that if a conference is to move the ball forward, it needs to target leaders who are positioned to drive change. These leaders want a conference that is practical, identifies solutions to real problems, and that provides perspective from people outside their normal circle. To this end, we invite Health Care, Industry, Finance, Entrepreneurs and Payers to participate. The DOCSF program design uses many educational formats including ‘case studies’ to illustrate success and a broad panel of experts to ask tough questions. And because change does not happen in a vacuum, we include leadership, policy and design segments in the program. Find out more, and register for our next conference, by visiting docsf.health.
