Session attendees will learn best practices around organization structures utilized for practice mergers, the pros and cons of fully integrated and “Care Center” models, regulatory requirements and alternative organizational strategies for ASCs in the consolidation process.

“In today’s ever-changing healthcare market, many practices are looking to merge with strategic partners in order to consolidate lines of business and increase market presence. This approach is only beneficial if you properly integrate the entities to realize efficiencies and cost savings,” shared Todd Shafer, vice president of information services at Covenant Surgical Partners.

Earlier this year, gMed’s gGastro EHR* ranked as the number one gastroenterology EMR by Black Book™ for the seventh consecutive year. In addition, Olympus chose gMed’s Endoscopy Report Writer as a preferred replacement for its EndoWorks® platform. For ASCs and hospitals that need to transition from their Olympus system, gMed’s ERW offers proven hospital integrations, text searching of gGastro or EndoWorks data, Nursing Notes to populate vital information into procedure notes and advanced procedure documentation.
