The project, five years in the making, is aimed to expedite getting patients in and out of the hospital. The ASC will have three operating rooms.
“We’re just maxed out,” the medical center’s CEO Ron Sea told KTEN. “So we’re having to work nights and also weekends for surgeries so that by being able to have this facility, we’ll offload the shorter outpatient surgeries to this facility.”
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.
