While ASCs continue to see increased surgical volumes year over year, they are still finding it difficult to staff their centers, according to a 2023 survey from ORManager.

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 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.
