Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Center for Anesthesia and Perioperative Economics
Q: How can practitioners learn more and engage with CAPE today?
People can visit the ASA CAPE page via a Google search to access descriptions, policy briefs, and work products; some materials require member sign-in, but the site is designed to be accessible and informative for clinicians wanting to operationalize CAPE's guidance.
The Center for Anesthesia and Perioperative Economics
Q: What are the three work groups within the CAPE incubator, and why are they important?
The three groups are the Medicare Fee-for-Service Work Group, the Economics of Anesthesia Care Team Work Group, and the Value-Based Compensation Modeling Work Group, each designed to clarify regulations, educate hospital leadership, and illustrate how value-based care can be implemented in anesthesia practice.
The Center for Anesthesia and Perioperative Economics
Q: What was the nidus for CAPE's formation, and what is its long-term outlook?
CAPE was formed to coordinate long-term economic strategy across ASA activities, bringing together professionals and staff to address high-priority economic issues that affect the specialty, beyond the short-term work of committees.
Bidirectional Mentorship
Q: What steps can someone take to start a bidirectional mentoring relationship?
Start in the clinical arena by openly asking colleagues how they would handle challenging cases, share your prior experience as a mentee, and create time for conversations outside the workday. Build a culture of openness that reduces hierarchical barriers to learning from one another.
Bidirectional Mentorship
Q: What are concrete stories where bidirectional mentorship changed how someone led or practiced?
Stories include learning from a junior clinician about critical care decision-making at odd hours, applying new data metrics from mentees to improve private practice operations, and discovering how different backgrounds (e.g., teaching, legislative advocacy) shape leadership and teamwork.
