The best possible ophthalmic care demands optimal conditions, combining cutting-edge technology and a facility to accommodate it. Multifocal IOLs, newer, small-incision phaco techniques, and advances in retinal procedures are in the forefront of patient/consumer expectations, with surgery that reduces OR time for the surgeon as well as recovery time for the patient. An American SurgiSite ASCs provide specialised evironments that facilitate new techniques, support skilled nursing staff and enable surgeons to achieve the highest level of medical care. 

The business of medicine has changed radically in the last 20 years. Many hospitals can no longer afford to invest in cutting-edge technology. Professional Service Insurance reimbursements have steadily declined while operational costs of running practices have risen. Twenty years ago, a surgeon could count on 75% of operational reimbursement revenue to come from surgical procedures, with a 25% yield from office hours. Today, this has shifted to a 50/50 split. Whereas two decades ago, that same surgeon might have expected to cover practice costs with office hour revenues alone, today’s rising costs and lowered revenue require that both surgery fees and office revenue be appropriated to cover costs.

American SurgiSite ASCs offer a solution.

Ophthalmic practices must be efficient to provide high quality care to the patient.  Well-run practices can provide the best results by utilizing the latest diagnostic equipment, electronic medical records, patient education, and well-trained staff. However, a well-run practice is not enough: it must be paired with an equally high quality surgical venue. An American SurgiSite ASC optimizes operating room time for the surgeon. Our services aim to make OR routines smoother and safer, using the very best equipment, nurses, technicians, and administrative staff that all catering to the surgeon's requirements. With the proper design and staffing, OR room turnover can be minimized.
