Here are three key notes:
1. Post-merger, the Glasgow Clinic with divide into primary care and specialty care divisions that will focus on either family and internal medicine or specialties such as orthopedic surgery.
2. Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital will likely be able to leverage payment programs from Medicare and Medicaid better after the merger, according to the report. The physical locations for the specialty services will remain the same in the near future.
3. Further down the road, the orthopedic, obstetrics/gynecology and general surgery clinics will move to one location separate from the primary care services. However, FMDH will continue to own and operate the clinics.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
