Along with orthopedics, high-acuity spine and cardiology services grew in the ASc setting in 2022, the report said. Tenet, the parent company of United Surgical Partners International, said about 20 percent of their ASC cases were high-acuity due to an increase in orthopedics and spine, the report said.
Catherine Retzbach, director of ASC operations at Virtua Health, said in the report that ASCs performing high-acuity cases “offer patients more options to have procedures be performed in a high-quality, low-cost environment.”
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
