Dr. Glinski received his medical degree from Kansas City College of Osteopathic Medicine and specialized training in ophthalmology at Grandview Hospital in Dayton, Ohio. He later received an MBA in health administration from Oklahoma City University. Dr. Glinski is certified by the American Osteopathic Board of Ophthalmology and Otorhinolaryngology and the National Board of Examiners for Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons. He has studied refractive surgery since 1980 and has been performing the surgery since 1985.
At the 18th Annual Ambulatory Surgery Centers Conference in 2011, Dr. Glinski gave a presentation on the key issues facing ophthalmology in ASCs. The presentation focused on regulatory and compliance issues, accreditation standards and compliance to state, federal and municipal standards. He said that ASC administrators should determine the role of medical staff in quality assessment and performance improvement. After a quality assessment is conducted, surveyors hope to see tweaking of the policies to improve the level of care. Dr. Glinski said the assessments should be shared with the board of trustees as well as the staff members. “Compliance to regulatory agencies is good for the patient, good for the ASC and good for the staff and physician investors,” he said.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
