OR Cases Dropping

[nycitygas]

Anyone else notice a large reduction in elective cases the last week or so? We have been going full court press all year long but our OR schedules have slowed down considerable the last week and appear slow the next few weeks. One of our GI's told me his clinic is down 50% the last month.

Summer vacation in full force.
Surgeons or patients are not available

Amazing right? Very simple

Same at my shop. Handful of surgeons taking some summer vacation with the family in any given week definitely lightens things up a bit.

Summer is the children’s hospital busy season. More more more. Make that $$.

Yup. Our system is planning on increasing the number of anesthetizing locations and expanding OR access on weekends and evenings.

If you have little to no assets, collections/bankruptcy doesn't scare you.
