Who’s a Candidate for Outpatient Arthroplasty at the ASC?
Does the patient have an ongoing medical issue that cannot be
No Does the patient have an organ failure? Yes Postpone surgery until medically
Yes Patient is not a candidate for
medically stable surgery should be performed at a hospital and the patient
No Does the patient have adequate support upon discharge? Yes Surgery can be safely performed as an
No Consider surgery at hospital
Medicare: there is no outpatient code for TKA or THA (PKA OK)
♦ Hospital/ASC ♦ Eliminates most over 65
♦ Different than PKA
In-network vs out-of-network
♦ May determine facility ♦ May change patient responsibility
Identify Organ Failure:
♦ Congestive heart failure ♦ COPD ♦ Chronic renal insufficiency ♦ Hepatobiliary disease ♦ Dementia/SZ disorder ♦ Hematopoietic disease ♦ History of anemia
Make sure organ failure not missed… Medical Optimization:
♦ Referrals to specialists
♦ Identify and optimize OSA ♦ Hemoglobin management ♦ VTE risk stratification ♦ Glycemic control/A1C ♦ Smoking cessation
Renal Disease
♦ Dialysis ♦ Severely elevated
serum Cr Gastrointestinal
♦ History of ileus ♦ Chronic hepatic
disease Genitourinary
♦ History of urinary
retention
♦ Severe BPH
Cardiac
♦ Prior revascularization ♦ CHF ♦ Valve disease ♦ Arrhythmia/Pacemaker
Pulmonary
