Leadership

A recent data analysis further validated the effectiveness of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) using text messaging to conduct patient satisfaction surveys.

ASC administrators are currently focusing on growth opportunities and reimbursement strategies. 

From President Joe Biden appointing a White House physician to Surgery Partners adding board members, here are the biggest executive moves in 2021 for ASC leaders to know:

ASCs in rural areas may find it difficult to facilitate growth, but one ASC in Illinois is still finding opportunities.

Christina Holloway, administrator of the Ambulatory Surgery Center of Bala Cynwyd (Penn.) spoke with Becker's ASC Review on how her center is restructuring policies post-COVID-19. 

When hospitals were overrun during the pandemic, many ASCs had to navigate increases in caseloads. 

Staffing post-pandemic has been tricky for many ASCs, whether it’s because of  competing wages or surgery migration.

Ten ASC leaders spoke with Becker's ASC Review on how they would describe their teams in one word over the past year. 

Private equity-backed U.S. Urology Partners named Corina Tracy, RN, as COO, the company announced June 7. 

ASCs are known as nimble, physician-centric organizations founded by surgeons who wanted more control over the surgical episode and patient experience. They often attract new partners and cases because they can cater to surgeon requests.
