Ambulatory Surgery Centers Need a Tailored CVIS Platform
BOSTON, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- For more than four decades, ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) have offered patients the convenience of having certain surgical procedures performed outside the hospital setting.(1) By 2027, experts predict a 27.6% increase in the total number of ASCs; more than 50% of all procedures performed there will treat cardiovascular issues.(2) To handle increasing patient loads, cardiologists in these centers will need access to technology providing comprehensive data management throughout the entire care cycle. Dr. Serge Makowski, CEO and Co-founder of leading software design firm MediReport, says, "Moving certain cardiac procedures to an ASC provides many benefits. The patient receives the convenience and affordability of ambulatory care. The physicians benefit from more convenient scheduling and more autonomy. And the insurance companies benefit as ASCs offer the same procedures as hospitals but at a rate that is 35 to 50 percent less costly."
