Survey finds continued economic stress for ASCs
Although economic difficulties have started to ease in some areas of the US, many ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) are still feeling the pinch, according to the 23rd annual OR Manager Salary/Career Survey. More than one-fourth (28%) of respondents say economic conditions have caused financial difficulties for ASCs primarily because of changes in reimbursement (76%, up from 67% in 2011), declines in elective surgery (71%, down from 83% in 2011), and lack of available credit (16%, essentially unchanged from 17% in 2011).
