7 Causes of Underutilization

According to Blue Chip Surgical, underutilization is a major underlying issue that may cause ambulatory surgery centers to fail. Underutilization may be a result of:

  • Poor case mix
  • Surgeon failure to bring cases to the center
  • Business plans based on unrealistic or inaccurate estimates and projections
  • Unengaged physicians
  • Overbuilt surgery center facilities
  • Poor center recruitment practices
  • Emotional exhaustion due to a poorly performing center on the part of administrators
