One SwiftPath surgeon and one CEO with a shared vision, a progressive surgical center, two years of hard work, and it has happened! Dr. Andrew Wickline and Geoffrey Smith, CEO of Apex Surgical Center have created the first outpatient joint replacement program in New York. On December 1, Dr. Wickline successfully executed the first total knee replacement procedure at the ASC using the SwiftPath Method. Dr. Wickine is the highest volume total knee and hip replacement surgeon in New York. According to Smith, there were four main areas of focus in preparation for making outpatient joint replacement possible at Apex: payor negotiations; incorporating the SwiftPath model into the ASC; sourcing implants, equipment and instruments; and ASC team training and education.
"Alignment and leadership are extremely important," Smith said. "There are multiple stakeholders both internally and externally. You must be able to get all of these people and organizations to willingly move in the same direction to achieve a goal that might not benefit everyone directly. The surgeon leader must judiciously finesse, and sometimes force the stakeholders to take the necessary steps to accomplish same day total joints. He or she also must be able to effectively, and if possible, passionately verbalize the vision; articulating the benefits, not only to the patients, but also to the healthcare system. If you are really successful, the entire team will embrace and understand this vision. "
Dr. Wickline performed the center’s first same-day total hip replacement in January 2018.
