Patient satisfaction is a hallmark of the ASC industry. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General surveyed Medicare beneficiaties who had one of four procedures in an ASC. He found that 98% of the people were satisfied with their experience.
One reason for high patient satisfaction is convenient scheduling. According to a survey conducted by the ASC Association, 75% of ASCs started more than 80% of their cases on time. Patients also choose ASCs for their high level of professionalism and safety. The ASC Association’s survey shows that over 50% of ASCs had fewer than three complications per 100,000 encounters and that over 50% of their medical staff is board certified.
