Miguel Afonso, director of Clinico Gastroclinic, spoke to Becker’s about the two things his ASC is most closely working on right now.
Miguel Afonso: 1. How to achieve operational excellence: We are developing a study to identify the bottlenecks at our institution and how to make small changes to achieve operational excellence.
2. How to fully digitize processes: In partnership with an IT company, we are developing a tailor-made software to accomplish full digitization of the workflow, enhancing patient experience, staff burden and improving quality of care metrics.
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.
