American Venous Forum 26th Annual Meeting - David S. Sumner Venous Summit: When Things Go Wrong - A Rare Case of Mismanagement
The increasing number of practitioners who treat patients with venous disease is creating an unexpected side effect - a substantial variation in care patterns and quality. The outcomes are not always desirable for patients and for venous disease in general. The time has come for professional societies to take a hard look at this situation and decide what can be done to improve it.
New Orleans, LA, January 22, 2014 --(PR.com)-- During the American Venous Forum 26th Annual Meeting experts will come together on February 19, 2014 in New Orleans, LA for the course David S. Sumner Venous Summit: When Things Go Wrong - A Rare Case of Mismanagement.
"Care for patients with primary chronic venous disease is not a simple task. It can be especially challenging, when complications occur, or medical mistakes happens. During the David S. Sumner Venous Summit a panel of world renowned experts will address a broad spectrum of issues around such a case including the most recent requirements, recommendations and best practices in areas ranging from accreditation of vein centers, treatment of varicose veins, managing SSV reflux, dealing with EHIT, cost effectiveness of care, post-procedural swelling, PE, and post-thrombotic syndrome. Panel presentations will be followed by discussion on determination of medical necessity by the health insurance industry, use of guidelines and publications in courts, and the role of professional societies in improving the quality of care." -Fedor Lurie, MD, PhD
