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]

Frequently asked questions

Cardiac ASCs provide financial and operational benefits to the healthcare system and help networks achieve the quadruple aim of care. An ASC provides:
- A more patient-focused, personalized, convenient and comfortable approach to care [5,6]
- Cost-of-care reductions [7,8]
- Geographic expansion opportunities to underserved, remote or high-demand areas
- More efficient and flexible operations at lower costs that help reduce strain on healthcare system [9]
- Improvements to staff satisfaction, retention and recruitment with more flexibility and control over work schedules

Organizational structure: 100% hospital owned, physician partnership/Joint venture, management company
Operation: Cardiac ASC or multispecialty ASC
Facility: De novo vs. renovate an existing lab
Procedures: Appropriate procedure mix and equipment needed
Staff: Appropriate staff numbers and skillset
Requirements: Accreditations, certificates, building codes, permits
Regulations: State and federal
Process: Timeline, disruption, patient impact

When you are ready to open an ASC, there are a variety of different directions you can take your operations including:
Sole ownership
- Hospital owns 100% of business
- Hospital is the sole decision maker in direction and operations of business
Joint-venture
- Hospital shares percentage of ownership with physician(s)
- Hospital and physician(s) owners make operational decisions together (depending on partnership contract)
- Physicians stay within the network vs. opening their own independent lab
Each option can involve a management company which can impact the percentage of ownership.
