Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) have been around in concept for the past fifty years, but their recent explosion has caught the attention of healthcare systems and, frankly, patients. Why? Today's guest, Adnan Qureshi, is a Managing Director with the Mergers and Acquisitions practice at Kaufman Hall. He provides strategic advisory services for healthcare providers and investors around the merger or acquisition of ASCs. The benefit he's seen in partnership with his clients perhaps explains the answer to this question. The “DNA”, as Adnan puts it, of the ASC is rooted in independent physicians who, as an extension of their practice, saw the benefit of doing lower acuity surgeries in an outpatient setting. As pain management and technology improved over time, the use case also evolved to the point where there are now few specialty areas where uncomplicated surgeries cannot be performed in an ASC. Without the overhead and operating costs of a hospital, ASCs allow for far more transparent pricing, lower costs, greater efficiency, and often better outcomes, all driving towards higher patient satisfaction. And that's a win we should all be paying attention to. Adnan Qureshi has over fifteen years of healthcare transaction experience. Prior to joining Kaufman Hall, he was a Director of Development at SCA Health, a subsidiary of Optum/UnitedHealth Group. In that role, Mr. Qureshi led market entry strategy across several geographies, and sourced, structured, and executed ambulatory surgery center acquisitions.

Today Steve and Erin are joined by midwest sprint car racer and 3 time MOWA champion Paul Nienhiser Racing.

Orthopedic surgery is in the middle of a quiet but powerful shift. Procedures that once required hospital admission are increasingly being performed in Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), and this change is transforming patient experience, physician autonomy, and the business of orthopedic care. In our latest podcast episode, Dr. Spector joins us to discuss why ASCs are becoming a dominant force in modern orthopedics. In this episode, we break down: Why more orthopedic procedures are moving out of hospitals. How ASCs are transforming patient experience, efficiency, and recovery. OrthoCarolina's bold strategy to double down on ASCs and physician-led care. The real financial differences between ASCs and hospitals for patients, insurers, and providers. Certificate of need, and the role it plays in ASCs. How ASCs and hospital partnerships work. A board-certified fellowship-trained Orthopedic spine surgeon, Dr. Spector has enjoyed a 17-year tenure with OrthoCarolina, holding multiple leadership positions, including Chief Executive Officer, Chief Quality Officer, member of the Executive Committee, chairman of the Quality/Value Committee, and co-fellowship director at the OrthoCarolina Spine Center. In 2020, Dr. Spector earned his MBA from Duke University Fuqua School of Business and was previously selected to participate in the American Orthopedic Association Leadership Program, conducted in collaboration with the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Dr. Spector currently serves as a Board Member of the Lumbar Spine Research Society and previously held the position of President of the North Carolina Spine Society.
