Cardiovascular outpatient services are poised to be the next big trend in ASCs…. However, many, including ASC management companies, underestimate the distinctiveness of this specialty. To succeed in this area, it's crucial to recognize the unique dynamics of physician relationships, the variety of procedures in cardiovascular care, and the complexities of this field. Copy-pasting strategies from other service lines (ortho) won't cut it this time. Understanding these nuances is key to overcoming challenges and thriving in the cardiovascular outpatient space. #outpatientsurgery #surgerycenters #ambulatorysurgerycenters #asc #outpatient #cardiovascular

When is an Urgent Care actually a Hospital ER? Whenever the Urgent Care is affiliated with a hospital. We use Urgent Care centers when we know we don't need the higher levels of care available at an Emergency Room because treatment in an ER is the most expensive form of medical care. Conglomeratecare found a way to increase shareholder value without any risk. Conglomeratecare buys a group of free standing independent Urgent Care facilities and renamed them Hospital Outpatient Department (HOPD) and increases what they charge by multiples. Nothing changes but the name and price. It is an outrageous abuse of the system. It is price gagging. It is business as usual for Conglomeratecare. https://lnkd.in/eAbWnZ8h

Outpatient visits, emergency department visits, and inpatient admissions each fell about 35 percent in April 2020 in the United States, as the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was experienced nationwide, a recent AHRQ study found. The study, an analysis of AHRQ's Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) data published in the Journal of Ambulatory Care Management, reviewed healthcare utilization from 2018 to 2020. The researchers found that dental visits fell more than 80 percent, ophthalmology visits declined 71 percent and mammograms fell 82 percent, but psychiatric visits rose slightly. By the end of 2020, specialist physician visits recovered; however, primary care and dental visits remained 12 percent lower than in 2019.

🌟 "I often ask consultants “Do you want to be running the same model for outpatients as you are now, next year?” I have never received a “yes” to that question.
