Featured blog post: New simulation training for robotic-assisted surgeons

Published March 2010

Most surgeons who perform robotic-assisted surgeries using the da Vinci™ robotic surgical system, or a similar product, learn by shadowing colleagues. Now, the new Robotic Surgical Simulator, or RoSS, allows surgeons to learn through simulation, according to a February 25, SUNY Buffalo press release.

Researchers are calling RoSS a flight simulator for surgeons because it follows a similar method that pilots use. The need for a training simulator was clear in the minds of its creators.

Assessing the Competency of Low-Volume Practitioners:

The Joint Commission requires that hospitals verify physician competence using performance data. Yet organizations often have little or no data related to the competency of low- and no-volume physicians. Medical staff leaders are therefore challenged to develop a strategy that guides the hospital's relationship with low- and no-volume providers, and medical staff services departments are challenged to establish systems to verify physician competence. This fully updated book and CD-ROM set offers the necessary tools and strategies for medical staff leaders and professionals to manage the increasing number of low- and no-volume providers and comply with Joint Commission standards.
