Building an ASC from the ground up is no simple task. Stryker has partnered to bring hundreds of ASCs’ visions to life and understands the complexity of building and launching a new facility. Each project is unique, but there are similar milestones that every facility must go through along their journey.
Stryker’s ASC New Build Playbook was developed in collaboration with ASC surgeon owners and administrators with expertise in this area. Wherever you are in your journey, this educational resource can help you proactively plan for upcoming milestones, setting you up for success each step of the way. This step-by-step playbook helps simplify a complex process into an intuitive guide.
This resource outlines the key phases throughout the new build journey. With the first phase of concept generation starting 36 to 48 months prior to first cases, it is crucial to have a plan and process in place. Additional phases include project launch, operational planning, clinical planning, building completion and final prep. Each phase in the playbook includes key milestones that will help you stay prepared and on track for a successful launch of your new facility. It is a first of its kind resource that is meant to be revisited throughout an ASC project that could span many years.
Becky Farmer, CEO of the Center for Sports Medicine and Orthopaedics, said, “Well before this new facility was opened, we were in partnership with Stryker. They brought a lot of experience to help guide us because we hadn’t done that before.”
One of the benefits of partnership with Stryker is access to a peer network that has experience with the new build process and can share best practices and expertise with you and your team along the way.
During the development of the playbook, Kyle Anderson, PT, OCS, MBA, VP of Finance & ASC at Orthopedics Rhode Island, said, “Educational experiences can occur in all lifecycles of the center. I know this is the New Build Playbook, but it is a major part of the Stryker value proposition. The concept that the educational connection is ready when you are, to meet you where you are in the process.”
Stryker’s ASC New Build Playbook will be formally launched this spring, starting with the ASCA annual conference at the end of April. Stryker will be hosting an industry Lunch and Learn session where industry leaders will lead attendees through an interactive discussion highlighting key considerations and best practices through each phase of a new build or expansion. Whether you’re 3 years out and developing a concept, in the thick of clinical or operational planning, or ramping up after opening, the panel and playbook will serve to educate you each step of the way. This resource will continue to be a focal point for Stryker’s ASC business at industry events throughout the year.
Your ASC should reflect your vision – innovative, efficient and built for success. Whatever your vision, we provide deep expertise during every phase – planning, execution and beyond – to help ensure there aren’t any missteps during the journey.
