Medline outlined how ASCs can manage physician preference items in packs in the latest issue of its Outpatient Outcomes magazine.
Here are the key details to know:
1. Go universal. ASCs should consider creating a universal pack of PPIs rather than building physician-specific ones.
2. How packs are used. Collecting first-hand knowledge about how physicians use PPIs and packs can help ASCs find the most cost-effective items for the facility.
3. Encourage buy-in. Communicating with surgeons to determine which physicians have a certain loyalty to a product can help ASCs decide which items to include and exclude.
