THE GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT PANEL

Session Wednesday morning described the

strategic direction of the American College

of Surgeons (ACS) in domestic and global

volunteerism and addressed the challenges

and benefits of providing basic surgical

care to medically underserved populations

domestically and abroad.

“‘Global’ [in this context] means not only

international but also domestic. Operation

Giving Back [OGB] supports volunteers,

promotes their work, and encourages [the

recruitment] of new volunteers,” said Girma

Tefera, MD, FACS, Medical Director, ACS OGB.

“Why would you want to join a program

in your community to help low-income and

uninsured people?” asked Scott A. Leckman,

MD, FACS, adjunct assistant professor

of surgery, University of Utah School of

Medicine, Salt Lake City. “I can give you two

reasons: there is a huge need and because

you [should] do it for yourself. If you volunteer

your skills, you will find the joy and satisfaction

that you might not find in your own practice.”

In 2001, Dr. Leckman helped lead the launch

of the Health Access Project, a program that

improves access to comprehensive health

care for low-income and uninsured patients

in Salt Lake County. “When I operate on an

Access patient, I am typically the only one

in the room who is aware of this, and the

patients wait in the same waiting rooms as

other patients do with the same outdated

magazines,” said Dr. Leckman, explaining

The future of

global surgery—

domestic and

abroad—addressed

The rise in mass casualty incidents (MCIs) creates increasing challenges for both surgeons and trauma systems in terms of adequately preparing for these crises. Tuesday’s Panel Session, Lessons Learned from

Las Vegas and Other Mass Casualty Events, presented real-world insights from Nevada trauma surgeons who treated patients earlier this month as a result of the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

Opening remarks by Lenworth M. Jacobs, Jr., MD, MPH, FACS, emphasized the critical role of first responders at the scene of a MCI or other major bleeding event, who can be trained to provide hemorrhage control, specifically via the Stop the Bleed® campaign. A national survey regarding bleeding control showed that 98 percent of the public would like to be able to stop bleeding in a family member if the need arose, and 92 percent would like to be able to stop bleeding if they came upon a stranger in a car crash, Dr. Jacobs said.

“These are unbelievable numbers…what this says is that the public wants to be part of the solution. There are 250 million people that we want to train [in bleeding control techniques], and we need your help.”

“Let’s not fool ourselves. We live in the most violent industrialized country in the world,” said Alexander L. Eastman, MD, MPH, FACS, with the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, and a member of the Dallas Police Department, who outlined strategies for meeting the challenges of an active shooter event in a health care facility. According to Dr. Eastman, these are “rare but powerful events” with

154 hospital shootings between 2000 and 2011. “The Department of Homeland Security advises the public to ‘run, hide, fight,’ but is this applicable in a hospital? What if you’re working on an active case?”

THE ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING OF MEMBERS OF the American College of Surgeons (ACS) will take place 4:15−5:15 pm Wednesday at the San Diego Convention Center, 5AB, Upper Level. Barbara Lee Bass, MD, FACS, FRCS(Hon), 2017−2018 ACS President, will preside.

At this meeting, ACS members will elect Officers-Elect, Regents, and Governors. Annual status reports will be presented by the Chair of the Board of Regents, Chair of the Board of Governors, ACS Executive Director, Chair of the ACS Foundation Board of Directors, and Chair of the ACS Professional Association political action committee (ACSPA-SurgeonsPAC). A number of awards also will be presented. For the complete agenda, see page 35 of the Clinical Congress Program Book.

All members are respectfully encouraged to attend.

Bias, cultural competency can affect patient outcomes, panelists say“WE ARE ALL HERE BECAUSE WE CARE ABOUT delivering good, quality, and equal care, which is impacted by patient communication, treatment decisions, and the physician-patient relation,” said Shubhada M. Dhage, MD, FACS, assistant professor of surgery, New York University School of Medicine, NY, to open a Tuesday Panel Session on Improving Outcomes by Enhancing Cultural Competency and Addressing Bias.

Dr. Dhage, the session moderator, spoke of some of the known quantities that affect patient outcomes—insurance status, income, age, and severity of a medical condition—but noted that less visible interpersonal factors are becoming more understood. “We now know that the impact of bias and cultural competency causes differences in the delivery of care, and therefore affects patient outcomes,” she said.

The first panelist, Brian E. Gittens, EdD, associate dean for human resources, equity, and inclusion, University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Medicine

and Public Health, presented a video showcasing the “McGurk effect,” which illustrated that people can hear different sounds based upon the visual to which it is attached. “This is how bias works,” Dr. Gittens said. “You think you know something about a group of people, about a medical student, or a type of patient, and that association is so powerful that you’ll ignore the reality of what you see.”

Not all bias is pejorative; in fact, it can help to create meaning, allow mental shortcuts, and enable us to screen information so that we can choose what to afford our concentration, which is especially important for surgeons. But our backgrounds and experiences can “create micro-behaviors or messages, and if we repeat them, it can create advantages for some and disadvantages for others, and can systematically result in inequity and exclusion” both between colleagues



Panelists, from left to right: Drs. Eastman, Stewart, Jacobs, Winchell, Johnson, Kuhls, Dort, Fildes

SUNDAY’S JOINT MEETING OF THE American College of Surgeons (ACS) Board of Regents (B/R) and Board of Governors (B/G) featured an update on health policy reform and two panel sessions: one on Maintenance of Certification (MOC) and the other on how the B/G, other medical societies, and the ACS Young Fellows Association (YFA) communicate with their constituents. J. Patrick Walker, MD, FACS, ACS Governor, South Texas Chapter, described

a bill moving through the Texas state legislature earlier this year that would have mandated that hospitals and insurers not use MOC as criteria in selecting staff physicians. The final bill that passed in the

legislature provided that insurers and health plans could not differentiate between physicians based on MOC status, and the

Texas Medical Board could not require MOC for licensure. Hospitals also could not differentiate between physicians based on MOC status unless the hospital’s medical staff determines MOC-appropriate criteria for use at their facility. “This was the part that was critical,” Dr. Walker said. “We call

this bill a relative victory.”Some observations that came out of this debate include the fact that physicians value initial certification, dissent, and support regarding MOC cuts across specialties;

Board of Regents/ Governors address MOC reform and strategies for enhancing communication

Opening Ceremony heralds start of Clinical Congress 2017

Surgery, like space travel, requires both technical and behavioral competencyDAVID R. WILLIAMS, OC, OONT, MSc, MD, CM, FRCS, a retired Canadian Space Agency astronaut and now president and chief executive officer, Southlake Regional Health Centre, Newmarket, ON, described the caliber of previous Martin Memorial lecturers as “out of this world” and said he was “pleased to be in that company.” Dr. Williams delivered the 2017 Martin Memorial Lecture, Personal Best: Reflections of a Physician Astronaut on Leadership and Teamwork, immediately following the Opening Ceremony on Monday.

“Dr. Williams is one of the NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) space program’s most accomplished astronauts, setting records in space-walking,” said American College of Surgeons Regent Anthony Atala, MD, FACS, who introduced Dr. Williams. “The veteran of two space shuttle missions, he has logged more than 687 hours in space, including three spacewalks, the highest number of spacewalks ever

performed in a single mission. His work with NASA also continued on the ground when the space agency appointed him as Director of the Space and Life Sciences Directorate, making Dr. Williams the first non-American to hold a senior management position.”
