Podiatry Online According to the ACFAS, a hospital cannot reduce a surgeon's privileges without a fair hearing. “This is considered a sanction and normally a mandate must exist that would justify this, such as an immediate risk to the welfare of a patient, for a hospital to invoke this clause,” ACFAS said.

ACFAS Guidelines on Heel Pain Please keep in mind that the ACFAS is an ethical organization which formulates guidelines, not rules. I beleive that their published professional guidelines which were the result of a huge collaborative effort and many hours of hard work really represent the "bottom line" when it comes to most foot and ankle surgery. The importance of their flow chart, I believe, is to demonstrate that a well respected surgical organization is basically telling everyone that there is a fairly long pathway to surgery on the plantar fascia. www.heelspurs.com /bbs/bbt.cgi?n=186844   (903 words)

The protocol involves surgeons and their teams taking the following precautions: a preoperative verification process; marking the operative site; and taking a “time out” immediately before surgery to review what will happen. Although the ACFAS cannot discipline any member who does not follow the procedures, the protocol will be a part of JCAHO hospital and ambulatory accreditation and will be enforced at that level, according to ACFAS Executive Director Chris Mahaffey, MS, CAE. www.podiatrytoday.com /article/2305   (908 words)
