Historically hospitals have been the sole host of higher acuity procedures, but this is no longer the case. Ambulatory surgery centers are now able to perform more complex procedures, and total joint replacement is a prime opportunity to enter the higher acuity space — if you are armed with the right strategy.
Total knee and hip replacements are not only feasible, but potentially profitable in the ASC setting. Before introducing these new service lines, ASC leaders must take into consideration factors such as:
• Physician buy-in
• Contract negotiation
• Technology acquisition
• Potential pitfalls
Learn more about bringing total joint replacement to the ASC setting during a webinar hosted by Pacira and Becker's ASC Review on Dec. 9 1 PM to 2 PM CST.
