Focusing on case costing analysis helps ASCs determine what the underlying drivers of operational performance are, according to Westchester, Ill.-based Regent Surgical Health.
Regent Surgical Health shared the following supply chain tip on their blog:
"Case costing analysis allows us to learn about the underlying drivers of our operational performance on a case-by-case basis, take actionable steps to improve performance based on our findings and achieve real economic impact. Transparency initiatives in the healthcare industry are resulting in the wide availability of data sets involving clinical, operational and financial operations of ASCs. Gathering data around trends and opportunities allows an individual ASC to measure and compare its costs and utilization against local facilities and ASCs around the country."
