April 18, 2024- Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) are experiencing significant advancement and growth as the volume and scope of their patient care continues to expand. Cardinal Health interviewed Melissa Laber, SVP of Lab and Non-Acute Sales within our U.S. Medical Products and Distribution business, to learn more about the factors driving industry change and how Cardinal Health continues to support our customers’ needs and their ability to deliver safe, quality patient care.
ASCs have transformed the outpatient experience by providing convenient, cost-effective alternative to a full-service hospitals, yet they still deliver safe, quality care and positive patient outcomes, according to Laber and the Ambulatory Surgery Center Association.
According to Laber and Cardinal Health, we’re seeing tremendous changes in the industry. New and existing ASCs are regularly met with complex considerations like evolving regulatory compliance, new robotic technology, implementation logistics for new builds, supply chain management and so much more – all within a highly competitive market.
