How has CSC distinguished itself within the industry?
Management Team – CSC has a dedicated management team that has extensive experience and expertise. We understand the needs of an individual practitioner, yet we have the knowledge and resources to tackle major health system projects involving multiple hospitals. Regardless of the project size, our team brings a reputation of honesty and integrity.
Market Strength – Although the nation’s total healthcare budget is more than two trillion dollars, healthcare remains a local industry where market economies of scale are more pronounced at the state and regional level. CSC has focused on growth opportunities that accentuate and take advantage of our existing market strength. Local knowledge and a dominant market position translate into vendor and payer contracting leverage.
Results – Ultimately, what matters most to patients and providers are outcomes and results. Our facilities have superior patient satisfaction, clinical outcomes, operational efficiency and financial performance when compared to industry standards.
The mean profit (EBITDA) margin of CSC managed facilities is higher than the national average as published in the 2008 Ambulatory Surgical Center Financial & Operational Benchmarking Study by VMG Health, LLC. CSC's financial interests are completely aligned with our physician and hospital partners. CSC invests its money on the same terms as the other partners and our management fees are calculated off of the project's bottom line. CSC does not make money unless our partners do.
Due to operational efficiencies, surgeons perform more surgery in less time as compared to their previous venue. The results of these efficiencies can be dramatic.
Example: Dr. A does 400 outpatient cases per year. The turnaround time (defined as the time from removing the surgical drape from patient number one to incision time of patient number two) at his previous venue was 30 minutes, compared to 10 minutes at a CSC managed facility. This twenty minute time savings represents 17 full days of newly available time that can be time off, time spent in the office, or doing 267 more cases.
Recently, a CSC orthopedic center was cited for excellence In a national benchmarking study of Knee Arthroscopy with ACL repair and Meniscectomy by the AAAHC Institute for Quality Improvement. The study found that the CSC facility’s average turnaround time for this procedure was 22 minutes, compared to the national study average of 42 minutes. Turnover time for this study was defined as the time used to set up for the procedure plus the time used to clean up after that same procedure has ended.
Our facilities are highly specialized and often do more surgery in their specialty than any other facility (ASC or Hospital) in their region. When there is a specialized, surgeon-selected staff that assists on thousands of the same types of cases annually, the surgeon is positioned for better outcomes. CSC tracks and maintains data on hundreds of thousands of surgical cases, which in turn is used in clinical studies, peer reviewed articles and national benchmarking. Contact us for details.
Patient Satisfaction is generally higher in ASCs when compared to hospital settings. CSC managed centers are focused on achieving optimal patient satisfaction. Our patient survey results exceed all national standards. We have comprehensive internal patient survey processes, as well as external surveying and analysis from third parties like Press Gainey, AAAHC, and EdgeSurvey™.
