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 patient2
  • 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
