This presentation explores the intersection of safety, quality and healthcare economics in the hospital setting, tailored for oral and maxillofacial surgeons. It highlights the critical role surgeons play in driving high-value care through adherence to safety protocols, evidence-based practices and cost-conscious decision-making. Attendees will gain insights on how to evaluate surgical outcomes, complication rates and resource utilization. They will understand how these factors directly impact hospital performance metrics and reimbursement models.

The session also will address strategies for reducing variability in care, enhancing patient satisfaction and aligning clinical excellence with institutional goals. By integrating clinical expertise with economic awareness, OMS professionals can lead transformative improvements in both patient care and system sustainability.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
  1. Describe models to evaluate surgical outcomes and complication rates in hospital-based oral and maxillofacial surgery.
  2. Understand the impact of surgical safety and quality metrics on hospital performance and reimbursement models.
  3. Identify strategies to optimize resource utilization and reduce variability in care delivery.
  4. Describe how to integrate healthcare economics into clinical decision-making to support value-based care initiatives.
