Keys To ASC Success
Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) have become a mainstay in the healthcare landscape and are an increasingly integral component of hospital and health system care delivery. Today, they successfully compete with hospitals as the preferred site of service for outpatient surgery due to the high quality and cost effective care they deliver, and their unique ability to drive consistently high satisfaction among patients, physicians, and staff.
ASCs that deliver superior clinical outcomes and financial success share some common characteristics. They are:
- An experienced business partner to expedite time to market and avoid pitfalls
- A thorough feasibility assessment that results in a "go-to-market" business plan
- A tailored business model that involves physician investors
- Commitment to an ambulatory culture and physician-led clinical operations
- Continuous planning and improvements throughout the Center's varied life cycle
"The quality of management companies differs substantially across the board. However, a center planned and executed by an intelligent and strong management company still has a much greater chance at success than a physician only center of a center planned without a management company or with a poor management company." McGuire Woods, LLP
