In the last 12 months, 56% of ASCs reported an increase in volume; the same as the previous year. However, more than 68% of facilities also reported having a more difficult time recruiting experienced operating room nurses in the last 12 months. 

Also, 69% percent of facilities reported more difficulty recruiting surgical technologists, according to the report. 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
