No but seriously, how is my ASC business doing? Have you ever laid awake at night thinking about: 🎯 Hitting your ASC budget ☎ Avoiding unexpected capital calls 😤 Reducing patient and physician complaints To help put an end to sleepless nights 😴, LeftCoast Healthcare Advisors recommends regular ASC wellness checks. However, not all wellness checks are created equal, and they shouldn’t just focus on financials. Much like each person's journey to health is individualized, the same principles apply to ASCs. Creating a systematic 🗒 approach to review and document critical operational metrics is key to achieving financial growth 📈 and sustainability. To learn more about evaluating performance and focusing on improvement efforts that can positively impact your business, CONTACT US today at https://lnkd.in/grAQcMWt. And if you’re attending CASA’s 2024 Annual Conference, be sure to mark 🗓 your calendar for September 5th at 2:05 pm. Michael McClain will be sharing his industry expertise on How to Create & Implement Your Own ASC Financial Health Plan. You won’t want to miss it! 🎉

Great stuff from Founder Michael McClain and Erica Palmer at HST Pathways!
Today marks the first episode in our latest series: Expanding Your ASC! We had the pleasure of hosting Michael McClain, founder of LeftCoast Healthcare Advisors, to cover how to bring on new surgeons and specialties seamlessly. Here's a summary of the key insights from our conversation: 🔑 Signs It's Time to Expand: Key indicators for expansion include consistently maximizing current space to 75-85% capacity and getting to the point where you might be turning away cases due to overbooking. 💡 Bringing on New Specialties: Identify physicians who have extra caseload, align with your ASC's culture, and have a solid reimbursement profile. Engage nurses, anesthesia, and billing early to ensure everyone is prepared. 🛠️ Bringing on a New Doc: Offer new surgeons trial periods to gauge their cultural fit and performance. Leverage existing physicians and anesthesiologists to find the right candidates. 📉 Common Missteps: Michael warned against expecting 100% efficiency from day one. Budget conservatively and plan for a ramp-up period of six to nine months to reach optimal efficiency. Also, thoroughly understand and negotiate reimbursement rates beforehand.
