Orthopedic Surgeon Services at WRSU

14 June 2023: Extended due date to 20 June 2023 due to missing Attachment H not uploaded for vendor usage and instructions to submit package.

Post Question & Answers: 

1. Is there on-call hours? We have not required on-call – we typically use the nearby orthopedic practice for on-call as we do not have an after hours OR
2. Is there support staff for the Surgeon and if so which positions (Physician Assistants etc)? We have APNs who see patients in the Orthopedics clinic but the locums provider is responsible for their own notes when they see patients
3. What type of cases will the Surgeon be working on? We are trying to get a picture of the day to day and complexity of the surgery? It is outpatient same-day surgery – our facility does not do hip or knee replacement surgeries. The majority of cases will be internal fixations, debridement and drainage of infections (wash-outs), etc. We do have the equipment to perform simple arthroscopic procedures.
4. What types of surgeries will be performed? Please see above. Complex procedures are typically transferred to higher levels of care.
5. Is there anything outside of surgery they need to do (pre-op or post-op)? Yes clinic includes evaluation for possible surgery and post-op visits. Much of the care in this setting will be done by the Nurse Practitioner staff, but the locums surgeon will need to provide input on a case by case basis.
