Hospital Partnerships and JVs

Joint venturing with your surgeons to develop a multi-specialty outpatient surgery center is a great way for your hospital to enhance its ongoing success. Here are just a few of the other benefits of hospital-physician ASC joint ventures:

• Minimize the threats that your hospital faces, including competing physician-owned and corporate outpatient surgery centers.
• Expand your hospital’s inpatient OR capacity by redirecting smaller outpatient cases to your own efficient and lower-cost ASC.
• Protect your hospital’s payer mix – don’t let your surgeons leave your system, taking their best and most profitable cases with them.
• Preserve and expand your hospital’s market base and community presence.
• Leverage your ASC as a recruiting tool in attracting new physicians.
• Create a competitive advantage and valuable partnering relationships with your surgeons.
• Improve your surgeon relationships and loyalty.
• Satisfy surgeon ownership desires and expectations.
