The ASC model is highly suited for joint replacement procedures because it efficiently manages the entire patient experience, from admission to discharge. Utilizing this model, Restore Orthopaedic Surgical Institute (ROSI) in Chadds Ford, PA, ensures consistent, high-quality results and greater patient satisfaction by focusing on one area of orthopedics – total joint replacement procedures.

Increasingly, cardiologists are performing patient procedures in outpatient ASC facilities. This approach often makes sense since ASCs are less expensive than hospitals and often more convenient for patients. Becker's Healthcare recently spoke with cardiologist James Grattan, MD, from Cardiologists of Lubbock (Texas), about the interventional cardiology landscape.
