The project, which is the most expensive and second-largest ASC Becker’s has ever reported on, is being called the 48X Complex, the report said. It will be four stories and 262,000 square feet.
“The main reason is that this is a really large — it’s probably one of the largest ambulatory surgical centers in terms of the number of ORs and procedure rooms that actually exists in the U.S.,” UC Davis Health CEO David Lubarsky, MD, told Sacramento Business Journal regarding the half-billion-dollar cost. “It is very procedure heavy. It is an important driver, outpatient surgery being a generator of margin in order to help fund our main hospital.”
The center will house 12 major operating rooms, five minor procedure rooms and 60 recovery bays, the report said. It will include diagnostic imaging, lab services, pharmacy services and seven specialty clinics.
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.
