Interpretation of non-invasive vascular laboratory testing should be a part of any vascular surgical practice. The combination of practical experience, knowledge of vascular disease, and knowledge of non-invasive vascular testing makes vascular surgeons uniquely qualified to interpret vascular laboratory testing. Therefore, all vascular surgeons should aim to participate in the interpretation of non-invasive diagnostic testing.

This is the first in a series of practice memos developed to assist vascular surgeons to effectively market their practices.

In order to effectively market a medical practice, define the competitive edge. This is especially critical for new practices, practices moving to a new location, or practices encountering new competition in an established practice. The first step is to define and analyze the competition.

Findings Reinforce Vascular Surgeons’ Value for Trauma Centers

Continuing resolution to fund the government disregards need to protect patient access to care. 

WASHINGTON, December 2, 2021 – Congress is on the brink of allowing massive Medicare cuts to go into effect at the start of the new year based on the language of the continuing resolution released today, according to the Surgical Care Coalition. Congress’s failure to address these cuts harms our nation’s seniors and ignores the sacrifices physicians and health care providers have made during the pandemic.  
 

The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) urges Congress to stop the harmful Medicare cuts that will take effect in less than two months and will limit patient access to needed care; Majority of the U.S. House supports stopping the cuts.

Organizations representing more than one million physician and non-physician health care providers unite to protect care for the millions of seniors who rely on the Medicare program.
