Brian Brown, the regional vice president of operations for AmSurg, outlined three ways ASCs can manage losing a volume leader in a post for the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses website.
Here are the key details to know:
1. Adjusting hours can help operations run smoothly while staff searches for a replacement to build volume.
2. ASC owners and operators can leverage the departing surgeon's connections to help the recruitment and hiring process run smoother.
3. Adding a new specialty to generate volume in the departing surgeon's absence can help to fill the void and present a growth opportunity for the future.
