Why now
Establishing a cardiovascular ASC helps improve access to care all while expanding your cardiology service line to patients who prefer the experience of an out-of-hospital facility.
- Cardiovascular procedures performed in an ASC have a 35-50% lower cost than in the hospital, which can then be passed on to the patient [2]
- From 2016 to 2020, there was a 7.1% growth in new ASCs versus a 0.97% growth in hospital development over the same period [3]
- Market forecasts project a decrease in hospital in-patient surgeries over a five-year period, while ASC procedures are expected to grow 11.1% [4]
Financial and delivery model
With experience in the cardiovascular ASC landscape, including adding cardiac service lines to multispecialty ASCs, our solution complements your existing capabilities. No matter the ownership model or existing management company relationship, we see our role as a specialist who complements and collaborates with hospital resources to streamline, guide and help execute the process. We are the expert you need, the partner you trust.
We have very few ‘preferred vendor’ relationships; however, with a standing history of sales and support, we consider Philips one of the premier vendors in this market.
