Question: What is a healthcare trend that you think people aren’t paying enough attention to?
Dr. Nameer Haider: We have a big issue these days with various things, from a supply chain aspect. Whether it’s personal protective equipment or whether it’s devices we use in the OR, or whether it’s computer chips for some of the robotics or other instruments, I think bringing manufacturing back to the United States and correcting our supply chain issues is something we as a society have to work on. And individually, as healthcare organizations, we need to look into the problem and solve it so we don’t get stuck in situations where we have to stop working because of those issues.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
