Overview/Abstract: In today’s evolving healthcare landscape, rural surgical services face unique challenges—staffing shortages, limited resources, and increasing demands for high-quality, safe, and patient-centered care. Yet within these constraints lies extraordinary opportunity. This session explores how small teams, when led with clarity, strategy, and purpose, can deliver big impact in the perioperative setting.
Drawing from real-world experience leading perioperative services at a rural critical access hospital, Dr. JohnRich Randall Levine will share practical, adaptable strategies for creating a high-performing team despite limited infrastructure. Attendees will learn how to cross-train OR, PACU, and pre-op staff for greater agility, foster a culture of accountability and growth, and expand surgical services—such as ophthalmology and orthopedics—with sustainable precision.
Designed for perioperative leaders, managers, and educators, this session will inspire attendees to view their constraints not as barriers, but as catalysts for ingenuity and collaboration. Whether you’re leading a lean team or navigating rapid transitions, you’ll leave equipped with actionable ideas to transform your local practice and elevate team performance—even in the most unexpected settings.
