Abstract
In 2016 it was clear that the future of interventional radiology was not confined to the acute care setting. As an independent interventional radiologist, I was consulting patients for a variety of ailments, such as peripheral artery disease, uterine fibroids, pain management, adjunct oncology therapy, dialysis work, and benign prostatic hyperplasia. As treatment therapies for such conditions were successfully being performed outpatient, the idea of opening our free-standing Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) was born. With the shift from volume to quality-based payments, the increase of Center for medicare and medicaid services (CMS) migration of procedures to the outpatient setting, and the limitations of a large hospital system, I quickly recognized the need to think outside of the box and create a strategic plan best for stability and growth.
