On Demand Webinar: Strategies for Hospitals and Health Systems Expanding ASC Investments

Most hospitals and health systems, regardless of size, are planning to increase their investments in ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). ASCs have become the model for providing high-quality, low-cost surgical care, and many hospitals are converting their outpatient departments or migrating cases to ASCs. Consumer- and payer-driven trends favor ASCs, and hospitals are recognizing they need at least one ASC in their portfolio to accommodate patients and payers looking for a lower acuity, less expensive site for outpatient surgery. The panel will discuss current trends, developments, opportunities and challenges related to ASC investments, joint ventures, HOPD-to-ASC conversions, outpatient migration, impact of COVID-19, and more.
