ASCs are a little tricky for academics

In this episode of Sg2 Perspectives, host Trevor DaRin is joined by Sg2 expert Tony Guth to explore academic ambulatory surgery center (ASC) strategy. They discuss why academic medical centers face unique hurdles as surgical cases shift away from the hospital, including faculty practice dynamics, partnership apprehension and the need to create capacity for higher-acuity care. The conversation also highlights practical keys to success, from purposeful case migration and backfill planning to a more holistic view of margin across the patient journey.   We are always excited to get ideas and feedback from our listeners. You can reach us at [email protected], or visit the Sg2 company page on LinkedIn.
