This piece is an informative conversation about "the Perioperative Care Team"; who is essential to the team and how do we make sure everyone feels included? What elements do you need to make up such a team, how do you keep people energized and excited about it over the long term? How do we ensure, in this context, that a fee for service system interlocks with the needs of both the institution and its patients? Furthermore, how does such a team increase our commitment to value based care and good quality long term outcomes?

Also, an exciting commitment is made toward a journal club, stick with TopMedTalk for more details.
