Question: With where your ASC is at today and where things are headed, what makes you nervous? 

Ms. Vecchio: What makes me a little bit nervous moving forward is some of the physicians that are out there and available, there’s competition just like there is everywhere. The surgery centers in my area are outstanding. They’re extremely efficient, just as we are. What makes you a little bit nervous: Is someone else going to outperform you or offer something that you can’t offer, which might distract potential new recruited physicians from your center?

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.
