Solving Independent ASC Challenges

Multiple Cases Per Day

Impact: 8-12 procedures = 2-3 hours documentation if done later

Solution: Complete operative notes in 5-10 minutes immediately post-procedure. No evening catch-up.

Substantial reduction in documentation time

Cash Flow and Payment Cycle

Impact: Delayed operative notes = delayed claim submission = slower revenue cycle

Solution: Same-day operative notes enable same-day claim submission. Improved cash flow for independent ASCs.

Faster payment cycle from day-of documentation

ASC Quality Reporting

Impact: Manual Medicare ASC quality measure tracking = administrative burden

Solution: Automatic capture of ASC quality measures during documentation. Compliance without extra work.

Medicare ASC-13, ASC-14, ASC-15 measures captured

Turnover Time and Capacity Revenue

Impact: Documentation delays = longer turnover = fewer cases = lost capacity revenue

Solution: Immediate documentation between cases. Faster turnover enables 1-2 additional procedures daily.
