For those of us on the East Coast, I think I can speak on behalf of us all when I say "thank goodness!" Spring is also a busy Ɵme for ACOMS. We just completed our annual handson cosmeƟc surgery course (this year on faceliŌ techniques) at LSU under the guidance of incoming President Dr. Jon Perenack, and our TMJ arthroscopy and total joint handson course, held in Dallas this year, under the direcƟon of ACOMS PastPresident Dr. Joel Rosenlicht. Both courses were wellaƩended and, by all measures, a great success. Both courses also represented what ACOMS does best–small, inƟmate, handson courses that allow for close relaƟonships between the faculty and the parƟcipants. I found that my quesƟons to the faculty at the faceliŌ course were signicantly improved by the fantasƟc jambalaya and red beans and rice we were sharing. If you have not aƩended one of these courses before, I would highly suggest you try one next year. We also held our annual ACOMS ski meeƟng this year in Aspen, led by ACOMS Immediate PastPresident Dr. Chuck Hasse. This was my rst Ɵme at that meeƟng and it was just spectacular. The speakers, who lectured early in the mornings and late in the aŌernoons, were fantasƟc. The venue and the skiing were amazing. ACOMS is in the process of expanding this meeƟng for next year and addiƟonal informaƟon will be posted soon. The ACOMS 36th Annual ScienƟc Conference and ExhibiƟon will be held next month at The RitzCarlton, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. As usual, I can promise you some great speakers and a terric meeƟng in a beauƟful oceanside resort. As in the past, there will be informaƟve pre conference symposia and exhibitors demonstraƟng the latest technology for our specialty. This year we are delighted to have our Kurt Thoma Memorial Lecture presented by my good friend, Dr. Joe Niamtu. RegistraƟon is sƟll open for this meeƟng but hotel space at the RitzCarlton is going fast so I recommend that you sign up soon. Spring is a Ɵme when we all look forward to the future. Summer promises warm days and busy Fridays! ACOMS’ leadership uses this Ɵme to look forward. For ACOMS to remain relevant, our CommiƩee on ConƟnuing EducaƟon and our Board of Regents meet regularly to evaluate future educaƟonal needs and plot the short and longterm future of the College.

Spring is finally upon us. For those of us on the East Coast, I think I can speak on behalf of us all when I say "thank goodness!" Spring is also a busy  me for ACOMS. We just completed our annual hands‐on cosme c surgery course (this year on faceli  techniques) at LSU under the guidance of incoming President Dr. Jon Perenack, and our TMJ arthroscopy and total joint hands‐on course, held in Dallas this year, under the direc on of ACOMS Past‐President Dr. Joel Rosenlicht. Both courses were well‐a ended and, by all measures, a great success. Both courses also represented what ACOMS does best–small, in mate, hands‐on courses that allow for close rela onships between the faculty and the par cipants. I found that my ques ons to the faculty at the faceli  course were significantly improved by the fantas c jambalaya and red beans and rice we were sharing. If you have not a ended one of these courses before, I would highly suggest you try one next year. 

We also held our annual ACOMS ski mee ng this year in Aspen, led by ACOMS Immediate Past‐President Dr. Chuck Hasse. This was my first  me at that mee ng and it was just spectacular. The speakers, who lectured early in the mornings and late in the a ernoons, were fantas c. The venue and the skiing were amazing. ACOMS is in the process of expanding this mee ng for next year and addi onal informa on will be posted soon. 

The ACOMS 36th Annual Scien fic Conference and Exhibi on will be held next month at The Ritz‐Carlton, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. As usual, I can promise you some great speakers and a terrific mee ng in a beau ful oceanside resort. As in the past, there will be informa ve pre‐conference symposia and exhibitors demonstra ng the latest technology for our specialty. This year we are delighted to have our Kurt Thoma Memorial Lecture presented by my good friend, Dr. Joe Niamtu. Registra on is s ll open for this mee ng but hotel space at the Ritz‐Carlton is going fast so I recommend that you sign up soon.  

Spring is a  me when we all look forward to the future. Summer promises warm days and busy Fridays! ACOMS’ leadership uses this  me to look forward. For ACOMS to remain relevant, our Commi ee on Con nuing Educa on and our Board of Regents meet regularly to evaluate future educa onal needs and plot the short and long‐term future of the College.   (con nued on page 2)

President’s Message (continued) (con nued from page 1)  

Towards that end, the Board held a two‐day strategic planning session in January. On the next page, our Execu ve Director, Steve Kemp, has wri en a summary of the outcomes from that mee ng. It was exci ng to plan the next five years of the College and to review our accomplishments since our last strategic planning session in 2012. ACOMS is in the best posi on that it has ever been, both financially and educa onally, and the future of this organiza on is looking very promising. We are posi oning ourselves to provide our members with the best possible con nuing educa on that they need and want. We are here for you now, and it is clear that we will be here for you in five years. 

Whether at our Annual Mee ng next month or the ACOMS Recer fica on Review Boot Camp (May 30‐June 1 in Rosemont, IL), or any of our mee ngs planned for the upcoming year, I hope to meet and welcome all of you to what ACOMS has to offer.

The ACOMS Board of Regents and staff met in Miami in January to define strategic ini a ves that they agree will benefit the members and the College over the next three to five years. The strategic planning session was facilitated by Robert Harris, CAE, Ph.D., a thirty‐year veteran in the field of nonprofit management.  

To ensure alignment with the College and the profession, the mission of ACOMS was reviewed and reaffirmed. It remains “The mission of the American College of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons is to enhance surgical excellence through educa on and to promote fellowship amongst oral and maxillofacial surgeons.”  

To advance our mission over the next three to five years, the following high priority areas of ac on were affirmed. The strategic planning par cipants agreed that these issues require our a en on, focus, and ac on and will have significant and meaningful impact on our ability to realize our vision and deliver on our mission.    

I.  Educa on and Life Long Learning — Delivering educa on to serve the surgeon, resident, and pa ent. 

II.  Membership Value — Serving members and facilita ng opportuni es to serve colleagues. 

III.  College Strength and Sustainability — Maintaining a highly effec ve College. 

Under each high priority area of ac on the par cipants developed specific strategies and related 

objec ves.  While  me‐based, measurable statements of what will be done to support the 

achievement of many strategic goals remain to be set, the par cipants agreed that the hiring of a 

professional with exper se in accelera ng excellence in healthcare performance through the 

development of high‐quality educa on should be an immediate priority.  Our management staff are 

recrui ng candidates for considera on at this  me.  

We are very excited with the outcomes of our strategic planning and to further iden fy and carry out 

plans related to each high priority area of ac on.  We aim to provide measureable benefits and value 

to our members and others in the oral and maxillofacial surgery community and towards 

compounding the effec veness of ACOMS in the years to come.

Stay Sharp Obstruc ve Sleep Apnea: A Review 

Fielding A.F., Isaac A. March, 2015

Temple University Hospital Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Sleep Apnea affects approximately 18 million Americans 

and has a prevalence of 3‐7 percent of the popula on. 

Mul ple medical personnel are involved in the treatment 

of this condi on, primarily the Sleep Medicine Physician 

and peripherally, the Den st, Oral and Maxillofacial 

Surgeon, Otolaryngologist, and Cardiologist. The causes of 

sleep apnea are mul faceted and o en require a 

combina on of lifestyle altera ons and possibly surgical 

interven on. 

A Sleep Apneic event can be defined as a cessa on in breathing for greater than ten seconds, associated 

with a drop in oxygen satura on, that terminates with an arousal from sleep. An Hypopnea is a related 

event in which breathing does not completely cease, but is significantly reduced for greater than ten 

seconds, also associated with an xylem desatura on and an arousal from sleep. There are three types of 

sleep apnea: Obstruc ve Sleep Apnea (OSA), Central Sleep Apnea (CSA), and Mixed Sleep Apnea (MSA). 

Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) occurs when the central nervous system does not trigger the pa ent to breath 

at the appropriate blood par al pressure of CO2. Apnea or shallow breathing occurs and o en no chest 

rise or accessory muscle use is observed, followed by hyperven la on (Cheyne‐Stokes breathing). 

Causes may include but are not limited to: brain trauma, Parkinson’s Disease, stroke, conges ve heart 

failure, kidney failure, abrupt changes in al tude (15,000  ), opiate use and degenera ve changes in the 

cervical spine and skull base. 

Obstruc ve Sleep Apnea develops from relaxa on of upper airway musculature resul ng in obstruc on 

and reduced or complete cessa on of airflow. At‐risk groups include pa ents that are overweight (BMI 

25 or greater), older men, post‐menopausal women, those with enlarged or retained adenoids and 

tonsils, rhini s, skeletal, and so   ssue abnormali es of the head and neck, Down Syndrome, Crouzon’s 

Syndrome, Apert’s Syndrome, Endocrine disorders (i.e., Acromegaly and Hypothyroidism), and alcohol 

and tobacco users. Pa ents are encouraged to reduce or eliminate preventable risks for OSA, via weight 

reduc on and cessa on of alcohol use or smoking.

Healthcare Liability Insurance Primer: The Claims Process By Michael Peters, OMS Preferred 

 Roughly 700 oral and maxillofacial surgeons annually experience a claim – a terrifying situa on for any doctor. 

Not only is there concern that your reputa on will be tarnished and your assets placed at risk, but there is a 

legi mate cost concern associated with the  me you will likely spend away from your prac ce par cipa ng in 

your own defense. In this edi on of the Healthcare Liability Insurance Primer, we provide an overview of the 

claims process, highligh ng your obliga ons and what to expect. 

Upon no fica on of a poten al claim, it is impera ve that you immediately contact your healthcare liability 

insurance carrier; any delay could lead to defense vulnerabili es. Once no fied, your carrier will assign the claim 

to a claims manager who will contact you (likely within 24 hours) to open a claim file.  

The claims manager will review the claim against your policy. A  meline of the events that led to the claim will be 

prepared, and per nent informa on such as pa ent medical records, treatment plans, and consent forms will be 

collected to aid in your defense. Addi onally, the claims manager should work with you to determine if the 

standard of care was breached during treatment.  

Standard of care can be breached without negligence (i.e. malprac ce) occurring. To prove negligence, the 

plain ff must establish (1) that you had a legal duty to care for the pa ent, (2) that you breached that duty, (3) 

that the breach caused the alleged injury, and (4) that actual damages resulted. All four elements must be met to 

establish malprac ce. 

If it doesn’t appear that negligence can be established by the plain ff, your claims manager will no fy the plain ff 

that the claim doesn’t have merit, and there is no intent to se le. Nevertheless, a lawsuit may s ll be filed by the 

plain ff. If so, the claims manager will hire an a orney to par cipate in your defense – preferably one who has 

thorough clinical knowledge and experience defending healthcare professionals in the jurisdic on in which the 

suit is being tried.  

You will meet with your a orney in person to discuss the merits of the claim, and he or she will no fy the plain ff 

of your intent to fight the claim. The a orney will begin the discovery process and obtain relevant informa on 

from all par es involved in the claim. You and your a orney will begin preparing your defense for trial. 

The claims process will undoubtedly be a stressful experience for any doctor and his or her office. However, by
