Greensboro's physician-owners.
Dr. Lucey acknowledges that Hana tables are costly, but says they're
a significant recruiting tool for surgeons who perform minimally inva-
sive total hip replacements that attract patients.
The surgeons also
bought a C-arm,
which runs about
$120,000 and is used
to confirm proper
placement and align-
ment of implants.
Then there are the
smaller items that are
needed, such as leg
positioners and instru-
ment trays. Dr. Byers
suggests you have sur-
geons standardize the
implants, tools and
equipment they use to
drive down the initial
capital equipment
investment and lower
case costs.
• Design with effi-
ciency in mind. A
successful total joints
program is built on
optimizing patient
flow, says Dr. Byers.
