Avanza Healthcare Strategies President and CEO Joan Dentler shared the following tip on the association’s s website:
“Purchasing is an area where ASCs in a joint venture partnership can save substantial money and acquire newer devices and equipment at lower costs,” Ms. Dentler said. “ASCs should work closely with their hospital partner’s chief financial officer and materials management department to help ensure they are taking advantage of the hospital’s purchasing power. ASCs should also make sure they can access their hospital partners’ group purchasing organization contracts, as the hospital will likely negotiate better rates than a standalone ASC.”
