The ASC made the most of the incident, turning to a local audio-video infrastructure integrator to install upgraded components and simplify the system.

“Now they can pull up video from any of the surgical suites in real time, as well as imaging such as X-rays, on the two or three flat-panel displays installed in each suite,” lead commercial engineer Paul Hagen told AVNetwork.

He said the project constituted a trial run for a larger project, the Center for Special Surgery’s upcoming 90,000-square-foot medical campus, which will house an urgent care center, onsite pharmacy and ASC.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 18–20 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.
