Value-Based Care

The shift toward value-based care models that reward quality and outcomes over quantity is changing the lens through which hospitals view robotic-assisted surgery.

The challenge of a steep learning curve is a barrier to adoption of such game-changing technology.

Tampa Bay’s Dr. Mark Baker has successfully overcome the early obstacles of robotic surgery by partnering with efficient, advanced Surgical First Assistants (SFAs) provided by Intralign’s Intra-Operative Support program.

Decreased Duration ofRobotic-Assisted Surgery

Since early 2009, Dr. Baker has performed 210 robotic prostatectomy procedures with Intralign, averaging 200 minutes including operating room set-up and turnover time.

The Benefits of Specialized Surgical Support

In the case of Dr. Baker, his team of Intralign Surgical First Assistants have performed a collective 2,069 robotic-assisted surgeries since 2009. This unparalleled level of expertise equates to increased exposure to a wide variety of surgical techniques and best practices that Dr. Baker has available to improve care delivery.

Superior Quality Care

As a growing number of doctors specialize in robotic-assisted surgery, reliance on highly specialized SFAs will be a necessary component to optimizing surgical efficiency. Surgeons such as Dr. Baker will maintain a strong competitive advantage by partnering with advanced trained SFAs. This growing surgical staffing model helps to support robotic-assisted surgery case growth while ensuring superior quality of care is delivered.
