This session will explore the transformative impact of acute care surgery on population health and how the introduction of robotic-assisted surgical techniques significantly reduced open surgery rates, leading to improved patient outcomes and enhanced overall health within the community. Key discussions will include: impact on open surgery rates, population health improvement, financial viability and reimbursement optimization, and driving equitable surgery adoption.


This session is not eligible for Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) credit.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discuss how robotic-assisted surgery contributes to the reduction of open surgery rates in the acute care setting and how this shift leads to improved patient outcomes and promotes equitable access to high-quality surgical care for all individuals.
  • Identify effective optimization strategies related to robotic-assisted surgery that support the financial sustainability of healthcare organizations while enhancing patient care.
