Patient and Physician Engagement: Using Technology to Support Real-time Communications
Thursday, July 9, 11:00 am – 11:15 am
Daren Smith, Director of ASC Solutions

Patient and physician engagement tools are a widely underappreciated resource in the ASC world, but these tools can have a positive impact on your facility’s operations. In this presentation, we explore how to use technology tools to improve communications with patients, physicians, and the surgeon’s office.

Growing Without the Pains: Using Data and Analytics When Adding Service Lines
Thursday, July 9, 2:30 pm – 3:45 pm
Todd Logan, Senior Vice President of ASC Sales

One effective means of growing your ASC is adding a new service line. But how do you know what service line to bring in and when to introduce it? Learn how to gather relevant data and apply analysis techniques to make educated decisions when pursuing a new service line. Use models and scenarios to explore reimbursement, profitability, and opportunity cost for the addition of a service line.

One of Your Patients Has an Infection. What Do You Do Next?
Thursday, July 9, 4:00 pm – 5 pm
Ann Geier, MS, RN, CNOR(E), CASC®, Chief Nursing Officer

ASCs are diligent about tracking post-surgery infections in patients and use a variety of tools and processes to try to understand how and why they occurred. When an infection is uncovered, what steps does the infection preventionist need to take to reduce the risk of it happening again? Get answers to all your questions about how to respond when a patient has an infection after surgery.

“Surgical Information Systems is honored to support the ASCA organization and the 2020 virtual conference at a time when ASCs need to be more informed and connected than ever before,” said Tom Stampiglia, SIS President and CEO. “As the premier meeting for the ASC industry, I am confident virtual ASCA 2020 will offer the same great content, continuing education credits, and networking opportunities as the traditional in-person event. SIS, which was named the top overall ASC electronic health records vendor by Black Book Research[1] for the fifth straight year, looks forward to showcasing our SIS Complete solution and meeting with our clients and the ASC market at large as we discuss ways to enhance and expand the reach of outpatient surgery.”
