Gwen Donithan is the Clinical Director at Roanoke Valley Center for Sight, and she’s here to share how ASCs can use Benchmarking to Improve Care & Your Bottom Line. With four locations spread out across Virginia, Gwen is primarily offsite, so she relies on benchmarking to keep her in the loop and uses data to determine tangible, effective ways to improve.

In our news recap, we’ll cover five new technologies shaping the future of surgery, an app calling themselves Uber for nurses, progressive treatments for depression, and a reminder for all healthcare workers after witnessing what happened to Damar Hamlin last week.
