Cambridge, MA – The last two decades have seen substantial growth in the use of ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) and the number of physicians who have ownership interests in these centers.
Join the Workers Compensation Research Institute’s (WCRI) Christine Yee on Tuesday, October, 30, 2012 at 1pm ET (12pm CT, 11am MT, 10am PT) for a one-hour discussion on this very important issue.
Things you will learn:
- How many more surgeries orthopedic surgeons who owned ASCs did relative to surgeons who were not owners
- The factors that explain why orthopedic surgeon owners did more surgery than non-owners
- How much owner financial incentives encourage surgeons to do more surgery
- How physician ownership of ASCs and this study compares and contrasts to other physician self-referral issues and studies
This webinar will draw from WCRI’s study, Why Surgeon Owners of Ambulatory Surgical Centers Do More Surgery Than Non-Owners, which compared the number of knee, shoulder, and wrist surgeries performed by 941 surgeons before and after becoming an owner of an ASC.
