Orthopedic care is rapidly shifting to outpatient settings, creating significant opportunities for suppliers that can help ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) meet rising demand while also managing costs. Over the next decade, the number of orthopedic procedures in ASCs is projected to grow by double digits, driven in part by increased demand for efficient, lower-cost surgical options.

As orthopedic procedures shift to outpatient care, ASCs are well-positioned to deliver value. They offer lower costs than hospital-based care and appeal to an aging population seeking accessible surgical options.

For suppliers, this means expanding market share and revenue is possible—especially through a targeted orthopedic contracting strategy. Provista, in partnership with Vizient, offers suppliers a direct path to growth through a specialized portfolio built for today’s ASCs.

ASC CHALLENGES ARE COMPOUNDING

While demand is growing, ASCs also face mounting financial challenges. Rising supplyand operational costs and reimbursement issues put pressure on profit margins.
 
“Freestanding ASCs are reimbursed at a lower rate than hospital-owned facilities, and payors continue to push back on reimbursement models. Operational costs are also higher for orthopedics than for other procedures,” according to Orthoworld. “These factors lead to ASCs facing margin compression challenges just like any other company. They’re looking for ways to improve their profitability.”
 
At the same time, ASCs are under pressure to provide high-quality, affordable procedures that align with value-based care goals. These facilities require more than just products. They need supply partners that can help them standardize purchasing, reduce product variation and streamline procurement processes.
 
This is where suppliers play a pivotal role. By participating in Provista’s innovative new orthopedic portfolio, suppliers can help ASCs improve operations, clinical outcomes and  financial sustainability while growing their business.

“By helping ASCs overcome supply chain and procurement challenges, and thrive in orthopedic care, suppliers can drive strong financial results for their organizations.”
