HMGT 300 6382 Introduction to the U.S. Health Care Sector (2162)Assignment 4: (20 points) Final Project- AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTER CASE STUDY(Power Point Presentation) .In the final project, students will apply the knowledge gained in this course to a case example.Each student will select one of the scenarios below and develop a 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation todiscuss the current status of the organization, provide an overview of the organization, and makerecommendations on how to manage the selected problem. You must include one or more slides thataddress the degree to which the Affordable Care Act might impact these services. Use APA formattingreferences and your reference slides. For this presentation, your title slide does not have to be in APAformat.Info on ASC’s here:http://www.ascassociation.org/SCENARIO OPTIONS.Pick one of the scenarios below. Your role is the manager in charge of anambulatory surgery center (ASC).Restate the problem you are addressing. Make some logicalassumptions. Make brief recommendations as to a reasonable solution to the problem in the scenario.POINT OF CLARIFICATION: You will use an established independent ASC for either of the fourscenarios listed below. Your presentation should be drafted as the administrator of the surgerycenter working to address one of the four scenarios. In your response, please be sure to addressall components of the scenario.1)One of the greatest challenges facing ASCs is maintaining and increasing volume. With all theexternal pressures, i.e. physicians pressured to become employees, mergers, decreasing paymentsfrom insurers, etc. – ASCs are challenged to keep physicians motivated to increase the number ofcases and keep patients satisfied. What are some strategies you would use to increase referrals toyour ASC while maintaining high patient satisfaction scores?2)Another challenge facing ambulatory surgery centers is the recruitment of new physicians. Followinga national trend, many local hospitals and health systems are purchasing physician practices, whichcould eventually lead to doctors referring surgical cases to a hospital’s same day surgery department.Assuming there is ample opportunity to increase surgical volume, how do you intend to recruitphysicians to practice via your ASC? What are some strategies/offerings you could employ?3)The ASC you are currently managing is experiencing out of network challenges. Additionally, theproposed reimbursement rates from payers do not match Medicare rates for your market. Most ofyour ASC contracts are based on the Medicare fee schedule and because many of your surgeries arenot on that schedule, you have to negotiate a fee schedule on a case-by-case basis. What strategiescould you employ as you work with payors to contract for reasonable rates that could save you bothmoney in the short term? 4)In this changing environment, you are required to do more with less. Reimbursement rates aredeclining; supply and implant costs, taxes, utilities, rent, salaries and benefits and other operatingcosts are increasing and there are more regulatory requirements i.e., increased standards foraccreditation (Joint Commission’s additional requirements as an example), ICD-10, adoption of anEHR, etc. Additionally, your staff is wearing multiple hats; many working to register, bill, code,schedule and assist with back house operations. What strategies and tools can you implement toincrease productivity, reallocate resources and boost employee morale?fan
