Joe Peluso, administrator at Aestique Surgical Center in Greensburg, Pa., joined Becker’s to discuss the healthcare trends ASCs need to know to be prepared for growth.
Joe Peluso: ASCs prepared to embrace transformative changes will be better positioned for growth.
Eight trends affecting ASC healthcare:
- Shift away from traditional inpatient models toward more patient centric outpatient accessible, high-quality care with reduced operational costs and the ability to improve efficiencies.
- Ability to personalize the healthcare treatment landscape.
- Ability to streamline processes, improve outcomes and provide an exceptional patient experience.
- Engage emerging innovative technologies: AI, robotics, automated medical devices, wearables and implantables.
- Foster a workplace/work force culture that supports work life balance to address employee satisfaction.
- Encourage better health management and preventative care (wellness).
- Engage in collaborative and partnership approaches.
- Proactively advocate for a site neutral payment system for outpatient surgical care.
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.
