Success in an ASC is dependent on
the
day-to-day systems, processes, people and leadership providing safe,
effective
surgical care. There is tremendous complexity in developing and
managing
all components. This comprehensive digital publication on developing
and
managing ASCs is written by actual owners and operators, and leaders
in the
field. The book focuses on the four cornerstones of an ASC:
patient
and clinical care, risk management, business office systems, and
managed care and payer contracting.
