Day Surgery Center

I have a question... I presently work on an Orthopedic surgical unit at a local hospital. Where mainly we get traumas, and total joints.. But occasionally we get outpatient procedures overnight for pain control... We are getting a day surgery center in town, which is going to be mainly used for our Orthopedic doctors. Well I'm very interested in this center, I am presently working on my resume to send to the clinic. My question is... What happens when you have patients that are having poor pain control??? Or what if a patient becomes unstable or the docs just want observed overnight??

Most out-patient surgery centers, the free-standing ones, are equipped to keep patients over night, usually will provide PACU nurses as needed.

Ortho, lap choles and plastic surgery cases are known to stay overnight frequently.

Those would be perfect questions to ask when you go for your interview.

I would think those would be addressed in the P & P of the new facility.

Good luck with this!
