Survey findings show that health systems are tied to ASCs for the long haul, with plans to ramp up investments. Additionally, hospitals prefer to own more than 50% of their ASC investments, and a growing number prefer to own 100%, according to a Nov. 8 press release.
Two-thirds of surveyed leaders indicated that when partnering or considering partnering with physicians for a joint-venture ASC, their organization holds or prefers to hold a majority equity stake in the surgery center.
The survey found a 61% increase in hospitals who own 100% of their ASCs from the year prior.
