A state council approved the practice’s requested budget increase from $19.2 million to $29.3 million and construction extension from November 2023 to November 2024, the report said. The changes were in response to factors including inflation, supply chain shortages and the war between Russia and Ukraine, which are leading producers of aluminum.
The changes in cost and the construction timeline aren’t expected to affect the size of the ASC. The project will have six operating rooms and orthopedic robotic equipment.
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.
