Here are four recent notes on cardiology’s outpatient migration:
1. In 2022, Atlas Healthcare Partners formed a cardiovascular-focused ASC management company with consulting company MedAxiom. Here is what the company’s CEO has to say about its growth strategy.
2. Cardiology procedures are continuing to migrate to the ASC setting, leaders said at a California Ambulatory Surgery Association summit with payers and industry stakeholders. CMS added cardiac diagnostic and interventional procedures to its ASC-approved list in 2019 and 2020. Currently, all but five states allow certain cardiac procedures in the ASC setting.
3. HonorHealth broke ground on a cardiovascular ASC in Scottsdale, Ariz., as part of a $60 million expansion project at HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center.
4. Philip Blair, CEO of Surgery Center Services of America, spoke with Becker’s about ASC companies’ biggest growth focus and why outpatient cardiology is a “gold rush.”
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.
