Question: What are smart ASC leaders doing right now?
Emily Spooner: ASC leaders are currently facing a multitude of challenges and opportunities as we strive to provide high-quality care. One important area of focus for smart ASC leaders is implementing technology solutions. There is more technology available for ASCs than ever before. ASC leaders are investing in these new technologies to help them achieve their financial goals, manage their inventory more efficiently and streamline staffing operations.
Finally, smart ASC leaders are prioritizing staff engagement and satisfaction. These leaders recognize that an engaged and motivated staff member is more likely to provide high-quality care and positive patient outcomes. They invest in training and development programs, provide competitive compensation and benefits packages and foster a culture of teamwork and positive accountability.
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.
