Jared Travis, RN, administrator of Oxford (Miss.) Surgery Center spoke with Becker’s to discuss his worst fear as an ASC administrator.

Note: This response has been lightly edited for length and clarity.

Jared Travis: Any administrator’s worst fear, in reality, should be a terrible patient outcome. Whether it be paralysis or death, anything. That keeps me up at night. The financials we can get through, we can deal with, we can turn around. But a terrible patient outcome just really should be top priority.

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.
