The Competition Heats Up!

[Editor-in-Chief]

Over the last 10 years, Ambulatory Surgery Centers’ (ASCs) footprints have increased dramatically.

As hospitals and health systems accelerate towards population health/ global payment models, such as Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), lower priced ASCs will become more critical competitors to hospitals.

Assessment

I acquired the Certificate-of-Need [CON], co-founded and operated an ASC for 15 years before sale in 2000 to a public company. My local hospital fought me tooth and nail. I likely would not do so, again, today!
