Leadership

After several years of moving around the Burton Hills office complex in Nashville's Green Hills community, it became clear that AMSURG needed a building of its own to continue to grow.

Having the ability to compare quality measures for procedures such as a colonoscopy to a national average is an invaluable tool that can provide ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), endoscopy centers and physicians with quantitative proof that they are the best option when it comes to patient care.

The Atlantic hurricane season begins each year on June 1 and goes through the end of November. The peak of the season is just now gaining steam and will last until October. Because their reach can extend many miles inland, hurricanes can wreak havoc on the facilities of many ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs).

AMSURG is exploring strategies to improve patient engagement and patient experience, including making it easier to schedule appointments and procedures at AMSURG ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs).

AMSURG has analyzed numerous providers within each of the three transparency provider models: payer price calculators, consumer websites and pricing transparency platforms, and is working on building relationships with many of the resources in this space to ensure we are poised to provide centers a market and procedure-specific strategy when the timing is right.
