Question: What is your strategic plan to maintain success in the future?
Stephen Blake: I believe that success in addressing the ever-changing healthcare landscape will require organizations to be more nimble, flexible, adaptive and receptive to change than ever before. Organizations that are unable to quickly adjust course will be simply lost at sea. Success will be determined by those that can not only control costs, but [can also] win at the cost game and deliver proven quality care with strong patient satisfaction outcomes.
Large bureaucratic organizations will be replaced by smaller, better-focused patient-centric entities especially as technology advances allow critical information to be easily accessible by the masses. ASCs with strong and adaptive leadership will be well positioned to play an important role in the once-in-a-generation opportunity to truly change healthcare for the better.
