JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa

Phoenix, Arizona

As president of the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons, the host organization for the 2016 Annual Clinical Assembly of Osteopathic Surgeons (ACA), I am pleased to extend greetings to all registrants, exhibitors, and guests. Welcome to Phoenix!

This year’s ACA provides the perfect opportunity to participate in educational programs that will help you achieve surgical excellence in this changing healthcare environment, to network with osteopathic surgeons from across the country, to enjoy a few rounds of golf at the Wildfire Golf Club featuring two of the area’s top courses, and to experience this remarkable city.

A special highlight of each ACA, the meeting’s featured speaker sessions bring together attendees from all disciplines to learn about issues influencing healthcare and how to improve their practices. This year’s featured speaker sessions are:

• Thursday, Sept. 22—”The Bottom-line Benefits of Team Leadership Training: Proven Pathway to Minimizing Errors and Maximizing Quality” by John J. Nance

• Thursday, Sept. 22—Theodore F. Classen Memorial Lecture: “Beyond the Scalpel: Soft Skills in the O.R.” by Annette Brooks, PhD

• Friday, Sept. 23—“Outcomes and Osteopathic Principles” by Douglas E. Rosendale, D.O., FACOS, FACS, and Mandip S. Atwal, D.O., FACOS

• Saturday, Sept. 24—“What Happens Today Will Shape Tomorrow” by Boyd R. Buser, D.O., and Steven J. Stack, M.D.

Further enhance your educational experience at the 2016 ACA by visiting the Exhibit Hall. There you will find Assembly Sponsor and other exhibitor displays showcasing products and services that you can use in your practice, and this year’s scientific posters that reflect many hours of hard work by our fellow surgeons.

I encourage you to experience all the Phoenix area has to offer while here for the meeting. You can hike up Camelback Mountain. Experience the Southwest’s natural beauty at Desert Botanical Garden. Visit Heard Museum to learn about the traditions, culture, and history of the region’s 22 Native American tribes. Enjoy great shopping, restaurants, and nightlife in Old Town Scottsdale. There is much to see and do!

I am glad that you have joined us for the 2016 ACA. I know that it will be an enjoyable and rewarding educational experience for you and our colleagues.

Sincerely,

Dawn R. Tartaglione, D.O., FACOSPresident, American College of Osteopathic Surgeons

“The Bottom-line Benefits of Team Leadership Training—Proven Pathway to Minimizing Errors and Maximizing Quality”

Grand Sonoran Ballrooms E-F, Level 1Presenter: John J. Nance

New studies have begun validating up to 50 percent reductions in “wrong surgeries” (wrong site, wrong medication, wrong patient, retained object) throughout hospitals and healthcare settings. The engine of change in virtually all of these results is a steadily and universally applied program of Team Leadership Training for the entire medical team involved in any form of surgical intervention at the patient’s bedside, or in the O.R., the cath lab, E.R., or the physician’s office. Going far beyond the basic exposure to Team STEPPS® (strategies and tools to enhance performance and patient safety) and aviation’s Crew Resource Management approach, Team Leadership Training creates proven and professional Collegial Interactive Teams (CITs) but must be built on complete cultural change.

This presentation by John Nance, a pioneer in both aviation and medical safety and quality, lays the groundwork for why Team Leadership Training is such a powerful and certain way to improve the performance of not just surgical interventions, but virtually all medical interactions. The hallmark of a mature CIT is a leader who knows how to bring out the best performance and best participatory ownership in each member of the team. A trained CIT leader knows how to eliminate all communication barriers by making it completely safe for any member to speak up, and by creating and maintaining an atmosphere of mutual respect, constant learning, and non-hierarchical interchange. While these principles, techniques, and methods have never been taught in medical schools, nursing schools, or traditionally used in medicine, the dramatic and positive effects of appropriately inculcating such team leadership go directly to the bottom line, inclusive of significant improvement in morale.

John Nance brings a rich and varied professional background to American healthcare and the cause of patient safety. A lawyer, Air Force and airline pilot, prolific internationally published author, national broadcaster, and professional speaker, he was one of the founding board members of the National Patient Safety Foundation in 1997. He is also the author of the highly acclaimed 2009 book on American healthcare, titled Why Hospitals Should Fly: The Ultimate Flight Plan to Patient Safety and Quality Care.

THURSDAY, SEPT. 22, 10:30 – 11:30 A.M.

Theodore F. Classen Memorial Lecture: “Beyond the Scalpel: Soft Skills in the O.R.”

Grand Sonoran Ballrooms E-F, Level 1Presenter: Annette Brooks, PhD

Communication skills, bookmarked by collaborative leadership and high emotional

intelligence, continue to gain prominence in medical literature as the demarcation between the good and the exceptional surgeon. Recognizing the importance of these “soft” skills, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) added communication and interpersonal skills to the required milestones for competencies of graduating residents in July 2014.

Because of the fast pace, high stakes, and technical “hard-skills” characteristic of the field, the culture of surgery has lagged behind this movement, and the greater part of these efforts have focused on providing strategies for improving the patient-surgeon relationship and communication. Team communication and development have received less attention, despite the Joint Commission’s identification of failures in communication, human factors, and leadership as the most common issues in sentinel events. Complicating the surgeon’s situation further, many O.R.s utilize rotating team members throughout the day. As a result, surgeons today require an exceptional degree of interpersonal flexibility as it has become necessary to simultaneously operate and manage an ever-changing team. This keynote address will focus on the nontechnical skills set of communication, decision-making, and situational awareness in the context of surgical team stress, management, and excellence.

Dr. Annette Brooks is a clinical psychologist specializing in medical psychology and organizational management. She has served in the New Mexico VA Health Care System since 1996 and as an assistant professor in the psychiatry department at the University of New Mexico (UNM) since 1999. While serving in clinical positions including director of pain management and director of medical psychology, she learned the value of change management skills, concentrating on motivational interviewing, human factors, and systems processes in a medical setting. She is a member of the international Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers and a motivational interviewing consultant for the national Evidence-based Practice Initiative. She has achieved green belt certification through Lean Six Sigma and is working toward her black belt. Dr. Brooks currently works as an organizational consultant for the New Mexico VA Health Care System and with the UNM department of surgery in both resident training and research. In collaboration with the UNM’s surgical residency program, she co-developed a coaching program around early identification of residents struggling with the communication and interpersonal ACGME milestone. Her current interest and research areas are the impact of O.R. stress on adverse events and the implementation of stress recovery education to mitigate these events.

“Outcomes and Osteopathic Principles”


Presenters: Douglas E. Rosendale, D.O., FACOS, FACS, and Mandip S. Atwal, D.O., FACOS

This keynote session will explore the 100-plus year history of quality and outcomes reporting by surgeons, and how patients have benefited from smart surgical research and rigorous training. The current state of American healthcare and osteopathic principles will be addressed, as well as how healthcare is transforming from a volume-based system to a value-based one. Surgical care will become more reliant on smarter information systems in the future. With the adoption of electronic health records, performance measurements like “meaningful use,” the Merit-based Incentive Payment System, and an orientation toward “value-based” medicine, surgeons must adopt strategies to maximize their ability to demonstrate high-quality care that is effective and efficiently delivered. This session will reveal the challenges of this process as well as opportunities for surgeons to capitalize on their existing qualities and talents through the use of smarter processes and information technology support.

Dr. Rosendale is a board certified general surgeon and an expert in clinical informatics, value-based medicine, and healthcare transformation. He has served as adjunct faculty for the clinical informatics program of Harvard University/Brigham and Women’s Hospital Decision Systems Group, and for the University of California San Diego bioinformatics department. He also served as chief medical information officer for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs/Department of Defense Interagency Program Office and as senior physician advisor for clinical informatics in the Veterans Health Administration. He has worked on White House-sponsored activities focused on disaster preparedness and health IT innovation and interoperability. He currently advises Fortune 100 companies on health IT strategies for the future. He is president of the American Osteopathic Association of Medical Informatics and chair of the ACOS Quality Initiatives Committee.

Dr. Atwal is a board certified critical care surgeon in Mount Clemens, Mich., a trauma surgeon in surgical critical care at Sinai-Grace Hospital in Detroit, Mich., and a board certified general surgeon and co-medical director of trauma services at McLaren Macomb Hospital in Mount Clemens. He serves on the Michigan Region 2 North Trauma Advisory Council and on the Michigan State Trauma Advisory Committee, and as physician quality surgical champion for the Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative at McLaren Macomb. The recipient of numerous teaching awards, he is adjunct clinical preceptor at A. T. Still University Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine and clinical assistant professor in osteopathic surgical specialties at Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. He is chair of the ACOS Residency Evaluation and Standards Committee and serves on the American Osteopathic Association Program and Trainee Review Council.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 24, 8 – 9 A.M.

“ What Happens Today Will Shape Tomorrow”


Presenters: Boyd R. Buser, D.O., and Steven J. Stack, M.D.

WORKSHOP: “Highlights of Coding and Reimbursement for Surgeons”

THURSDAY, SEPT. 22, 2 – 5 P.M.

Wildflower Ballroom C, Level 2

Presenter: Teresa Romano, RN, MBA, CP, CDMP

Registration fee: $225

Accurate coding and documentation of evaluation and management (E/M) visits and surgical procedures is essential, not only to optimize your practice revenues but also to respond effectively to denials or payer audits. This workshop by Teresa Romano focuses on what you need to know about key coding issues in surgery coding and documentation, including the following:

• Physician payment update—How are surgical procedures

paid? How will the prospect of alternative payment

models impact surgeons?

• The surgical global period—What’s included and what can

be billed separately? When are preoperative visits billable?

When are postoperative complications billable?

• Billing procedures and E/M visit on the same day—

When is this appropriate, and why is this an audit target?

• Coding co-surgery vs. assistant surgery—Are you coding

and documenting these correctly?

• Using the 22 modifier for increased payment—When is this

feasible, how is it documented, and will you get paid?

• Using unlisted codes—Is there another way to bill unlisted

procedures, and are they ever paid?

• Outpatient and inpatient E/M coding—Why is choosing a

code category tougher than ever?

• E/M coding and your EMR—Tips for avoiding the pitfalls

of EMR-driven E/M documentation.

This program will be eligible for 3 hours of AOA Category 2-B CME credit.

WORKSHOP: “Highlights of ICD-10 Coding for Surgeons and Audit Awareness— What Surgeons Need to Know”

FRIDAY, SEPT. 23, 9 A.M. – 12 NOON


Presenter: Teresa Romano, RN, MBA, CP, CDMP

Registration fee: $225

The transition to ICD-10 coding has gone relatively smoothly this year, as Medicare and most payers promised leniency for claims with incorrect or unspecified codes. However, Oct. 1, 2016, ends the year of ICD-10 “light” and brings more than 2,000 new or revised codes. This workshop will address these ICD-10 topics:

• What can you expect in the second year of ICD-10 coding?

• Why is coding for comorbidities essential in today’s

healthcare environment?

• Using unspecified codes—How risky is it, and will these

claims always be denied?

• Using the 7th character in ICD-10 coding—What

constitutes an initial encounter, a subsequent encounter,

and sequelae? When is the 7th character used?

• How should surgical complications be coded?

Medicare and private payers are vigilant in pursuing “overpayments” they believe were made incorrectly to physicians. Programs for profiling and reviewing claims for errors and audits are on the rise. How can you avoid an audit or deal with a record review or repayment demand from Medicare or a private payer? This session will cover audit awareness for surgeons:

• Who are the major players in Medicare’s audit line-up?

What about private payers?

• What key issues lead to an audit? What areas of risk

should you be aware of in E/M coding, surgical coding,

and E/M visits and procedures performed the same day?

• What are comparative billing letters, and how should you

respond if you receive one?

• What does a request for records mean, and how should

you respond?

• What happens if the payer demands a repayment?

Can you appeal? How is this best handled?

This program will be eligible for 3 hours of AOA Category 2-B CME credit.

AOBS, ACOS Residents Section, SOSASpecial Programs and Events

Osteopathic Surgical Educators Seminar: “Meeting the Training Demands of Today’s Surgical Resident”

SATURDAY, SEPT. 24, 9 A.M. – 12:30 P.M.


Hosted by the ACOS Residency Evaluation and Standards Committee

Registration fee: Program directors—$325; Program coordinators—$150

There are more than 90 American Osteopathic Association (AOA) surgical residency programs in general surgery, general vascular surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, neurological surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, surgical critical care, and urological surgery approved by the AOA/ACOS. The annual Osteopathic Surgical Educators Seminar provides program directors and faculty in these residency programs the opportunity to share information and their experiences in teaching osteopathic surgical residents and to discuss common and emerging issues affecting their residents and training programs—including the challenges facing them as they apply for Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accreditation.

The AOA announced on Feb. 26, 2014, that the ACGME, American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, and AOA agreed on a memorandum of understanding to create a new “unified accrediting body” for graduate medical education. Effective July 1, 2015, AOA accredited training programs can apply for ACGME accreditation and will be granted “pre-accreditation” status by the ACGME upon receipt of their online application. Programs will maintain pre-accreditation status until they achieve initial ACGME accreditation, withdraw from the application process, or until June 30, 2020, if they have not received full ACGME accreditation. Until AOA programs are fully accredited by the ACGME, programs and program directors must continue to comply with AOA/ACOS standards.

Nearly half of all AOA/ACOS surgical residency programs have applied and received ACGME pre-accreditation status since the July 1, 2015, effective date. What steps should programs take next to achieve “initial” ACGME accreditation and beyond? This year’s Osteopathic Surgical Educators Seminar will focus on initial ACGME accreditation to assist surgical residency programs in reaching this level of accreditation.

9 – 9:30 A.M.

Welcome and Introductions

Facilitator: Mandip S. Atwal, D.O., FACOS, Chair of ACOS Residency Evaluation and Standards Committee

9:30 – 11 A.M.

An Overview of ACGME Accreditation for AOA Programs

Presenter: Donna L. Lamb, MBA, BSN, ACGME Executive Director for Plastic Surgery, Surgery, and Thoracic Surgery, [email protected]

More than 50 AOA/ACOS surgical residency programs have applied for ACGME accreditation. Fewer than a dozen programs have received “initial” ACGME accreditation, while several more have received continuing pre-approval status. The goal of the ACOS Residency Evaluation and Standards Committee (RESC) is for programs to receive initial accreditation as expeditiously as possible. ACGME site visit data reveal common reasons that residency programs are not receiving initial accreditation right way—program directors and faculty lack scholarly activities and pub med publication; programs lack a formal evaluation system for faculty and residents; and more. Donna Lamb will address the current ACGME accreditation status of AOA/ACOS programs, and the necessary steps for ensuring that programs receive ACGME initial accreditation.

11 A.M. – 12:30 P.M.

ACGME Accreditation: Break-out Discussions

Specialty-specific Discussion


Facilitator: Donna L. Lamb, MBA, BSN, ACGME Executive Director for Plastic Surgery, Surgery, and Thoracic Surgery, [email protected]

Donna Lamb will conduct this one-on-one session to answer general surgery, plastic surgery, and cardiothoracic surgery program directors’ questions about completing the ACGME application.

Stop-and-Swap Session


Facilitator: RESC member Phillip C. Ginsberg, D.O., JD, FACOS, [email protected]

During this session, program directors will share their best practices for achieving initial ACGME accreditation.

This seminar will be eligible for 4.25 hours of AOA Category 1-A CME credit.
