COVID-19 has altered the healthcare landscape.

Driven by fears of viral exposure, surgical patients have avoided hospitals and delayed elective procedures. The pandemic is poised to accelerate outpatient migration, which has been fueled by industry consolidation and reimbursement changes, among other influencing factors. ASC leaders need to position their organizations to capitalize on these trends in order to thrive in the years to come. While there will be considerable opportunity to increase patient volumes in the ASC space in the months ahead, leaders are likely to encounter a host of obstacles along the way. These challenges may include difficulties related physician recruitment, payer contracting and adapting to shifting regulations. Since the first ambulatory surgery center was established in 1970, ASCs have never been more important to patients and the overall healthcare system. Join us for Becker's first-ever ASC Leadership Virtual Forum to participate in future-focused conversations on how ASCs can survive and thrive in the 2020s.

The unseen patient: accomplish more with less and gain a competitive edge

Featured session

Sponsored by:

COVID-19 left millions of uninsured patients in its wake. Many patients have deferred care, and it may take some time for volumes to return. Patients who are moving forward with elective surgeries often research provider and facility ratings to help them choose where they will go for care. “The unseen patient” is the patient who chooses an alternative provider. Capturing documentation details that accurately reflect severity of illness and risk factors have a dual impact on reputation and reimbursement. Learning objectives During this session, you will learn: - Where patients are going to research provider and facility ratings; - How facilities and providers are rated; - Strategies that you can use to make sure your scores accurately reflect patient acuity and the level of care provided.
