IX Medsolutions: Transforming ASC Supply Chain Management
Empowering Ambulatory Surgery Centers to maximize operating room efficiency, ensure surgeon alignment, and streamline material procurement for enhanced clinical outcomes and profitability.
The Shifting Landscape in Outpatient Surgery
1
Minimally Invasive Advances
New techniques now enable complex spine and orthopedic procedures in outpatient settings, driving a significant shift from hospitals to ASCs.
2
Favorable Reimbursements
Both government and commercial payers are incentivizing this transition through more advantageous payment structures for ASCs compared to hospital services.
3
Rising Case Volumes
Spine, orthopedic, and pain management procedures are increasingly performed in ASCs, creating new opportunities and challenges.
Key Challenges Facing ASC Administrators
1
High Implant Costs
Spine and orthopedic implants often come with substantial price tags that can quickly erode an ASC's profitability without careful management.
2
Limited Negotiating Power
Independent and smaller ASCs lack the bargaining leverage of large hospital systems when dealing with device manufacturers and distributors.
3
Surgeon Technology Demands
Surgeons require cutting-edge implants and robotic systems to deliver optimal patient outcomes and maintain competitive advantage.
4
Operational Inefficiencies
Inefficient scheduling, staffing, and inventory management waste valuable OR time, reducing both throughput and profitability.
