Headed into the new year, physicians are hoping to see improvements across the board.
From AI to reimbursement improvements, Linda Lee, MD, medical director of endoscopy at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, told Becker’s the three things on her holiday wishlist.
Dr. Linda Lee: 1. Artificial intelligence.
2. CMS making permanent increases to physician reimbursement annually based on inflation, rather than the terrible, unfair specter of decreases we face every year.
3. An increase in the number of GI fellowship positions across the country. We need more gastroenterologists everywhere.
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.
