Here are five innovations that are driving growth throughout the ASC industry, as reported by Becker’s so far this year:
- New companies, such as Ker Medical, Sapient Health and Surgical Solutions IPA, are bringing new models to the industry, pushing back against consolidation.
- Private equity firms have come up with a new playbook and approach to acquisitions, targeting practices with ancillary revenue streams and investing in sectors with less reimbursement risk.
- ASC leaders have developed new “gold standards” for the industry, refining excellence through aspects such as outpatient migration to new technologies.
- Robotic surgeries and AI-assisted programs are seen as a key growth element for ASCs over the next few years, potentially improving precision and efficiency.
- Surgeon’s Point Surgery Center in Cedar Park, Texas, became the first ASC in the world to utilize Moon Surgical’s Maestro System, a digital surgical assistant.
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.
