Title: Quality/Risk Manager
Facility Name: AdventHealth Surgery Center of Rome
City: Rome
State: Georgia
Length of time your facility has been an ASCA member: Less than a year

Do you incentivize staff for referring new employees? How?

We are a joint venture and our overlap hospital has a program for this.

Does any employee other than your physicians, like RNs or scrub techs, operate the C-arm?

All of our OR RNs and scrub techs have taken a certification course that meets the GA state requirements to operate the C-arm. The facility covers the cost of this course to aid in OR efficiency and physician satisfaction. The program we use is through a local technical college. One of the instructors owns a private business that provides courses. She now has an online course, so it is extremely easy to coordinate this for our staff.
