Press Releases

DUBLIN, Ohio, Aug. 30, 2012 — Cardinal Health today announced the availability of Manage My ASC, a real-time, interactive management tool that provides a view into the financial and operational performance of an ambulatory surgical center.

 The comprehensive Manage My ASC platform provides surgical center owners and management with reporting, tracking and benchmarking data along with analysis and recommendations for action. The web-based system is designed to help increase productivity and profitability for centers faced with shrinking reimbursements and increases in the costs of delivering care.

“The Manage My ASC platform will provide our customers critical real-time operating and financial metrics they can use to make keen business decisions around administration and utilization,” said John Rademacher, president, Ambulatory Care at Cardinal Health.

The Manage My ASC system consolidates data across surgery center functions such as finance and accounting, human resources, billing and collection, payroll, and inventory and purchasing to create benchmarks and actionable reports. In an interactive process where an account leader is assigned to the surgery center, a panel of industry experts analyzes the reports and formulates a detailed response plan the center’s management can execute to correct problems or to leverage new opportunities. Through individual consultation, the Manage My ASC team then tracks a center’s progress through the response plan, making modifications as necessary.

The Manage My ASC solution is effective for centers of varying sizes and geographic locations and is part of an integrated solution set being offered by Cardinal Health’s dedicated Ambulatory Surgery Center Sales experts.
