To answer those questions, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board experts Jordan Peterson and Nick Hula to break down why the ambulatory strategy used for the last decade is no longer enough, why ambulatory growth needs to be top of mind for health system strategists 2025, and how leaders can shift their efforts from ambulatory sites to ambulatory capabilities.

if you have any feedback, please send us a text! Thank you!There have been a lot of questions recently regarding the appropriateness of patients scheduled for care in an ambulatory surgical center (ASCs). It appears that sicker and more complex patients are being scheduled for care in an ASC, and many anesthesiologists are increasingly concerned about the safety of anesthetizing these patients in locations that may lack resources to escalate care if needed. In today's episode we are going to discuss some of these issues with two experts in ambulatory to help navigate this quandary. Welcome Drs. Christina Menor and Basem Abdelmalak.  The discussion was fascinating and informative. Starting with why surgeons and proceduralists may want to schedule patients in an ASC, to factors that might affect the decision to safely care for a particular patient in a particular location. Along the way specific examples of patients with complicated medical conditions were presented and discussed in depth. For full guest bios and resources discussed during the podcast, click here.
