 Volume projections:  2014 –Last year 2100 Surgery Cases Performed  YTD 2750 Surgery Cases Performed  2016– Projected volume: 20 % 3300

 General focus remains on quality of care, customer satisfaction, volume, utilization management, and cost control.

 Plan outlines efforts needed to reach the population segment that will generate more volume. The marketing plan involves all three office locations; Utica, Clinton Township, and St. Clair Shores to capture those patients especially in the Utica and St. Clair Shores offices as potential growth for our Clinton Township ASC. By marketing at both offices this puts the center at a 21.4 mile radius to capture outside volume in need of the center’s services.

 Implementation of this plan will have a kick off meeting next week to draft a new floor plan to see and evaluate all potential options. Once a plan is agreed upon with all appropriate parties, then weekly monitoring phone conference calls will be made to keep the project on track to discuss performance indicators. Twice a month; every two weeks face to face meetings will be held on top of weekly conference calls.

 This plan will affect the cooperation overall by generating additional revenue for the organization. This plan will provide the patients with more choices regarding their scheduled surgeries. This expansion will open up additional surgery time for our practicing physicians to help treat their patients quicker and new physicians who’s surgery time is limited elsewhere.

 This plan offers more flexibility with our scheduling. The risk factors is that the additional room will not be occupied all five days of the week since volume always changes. The risk is hiring additional full-time staff to accommodate the second room and not being able to provide them with their 40 hours. Overall our organization believes the benefits outweigh the risks and by expanding our ASC will expand our services to our patients.
