By 2028, 65% of all outpatient procedures will be treated in the ASC. Smarter devices will equate to simpler procedures and more standardization, so will be more in tune with ASCs. Dr. JoEllyn Moore The overhead is dramatically less to build an ASC compared to building an additional (EP) lab in the hospital. Patients love ASCs — It’s a smaller feeling that feels safe. It’s more efficient so it helps patients get in quicker. They’re not waiting for a complex case to be finished. So it’s a wonderful option for patients. Patients feel that they are getting more attention and more personalized tailored care [at ASCs]. Hospitals are at capacity because of the silver tsunami.and some outpatient procedures get cancelled. I believe patients get more personalized care at a slower pace at the ASC. Mary Haugen Family members are able to stay with the patient for the whole time, which is a comfort for patients. Started slowly so we could ensure we were doing things safely. Key is to ensure there are solid criteria to say which patients can come to the ASC. In the ASC setting, the entire job of the care team is focused on preparing the patient for surgery, performing surgery and preparing them to go home. Staff want to be in the ASC because it’s an environment where providers can do their best work. Event Photos View All Past Events Share This
