Our location offers both quality and convenience www.google.com/maps Located in Northwest Houston, Spring Health Surgery Center (SHSC) is a 7,500 square foot ambulatory surgery center. The operating hours are Monday – Friday from 8 am to 5 pm.
SHSC offers services to clients of all ages across five different specialties Specialties Offered: Gastroenterology (GI) General Surgery Ophthalmology Orthopedics Pediatrics, including Ear, Nose, & Throat (ENT)
Upcoming MACRA legislation has caused SHSC to re-evaluate their current processes Beginning in 2019, the staff physicians, anesthesiologist, and CRNAs are eligible for annual monetary incentives based on the quality outcomes of the services performed under the MACRA Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). Under MACRA, SHSC must move from their current fee-for- service reimbursement model to a value-based reimbursement system. A thorough review, including operational and financial analyses, was conducted at the facility in order to better understand our position with MACRA compliance.
Operationally, SHSC has established a solid foundation for the future Business Structure Co-owned between the five staff physicians (40%) and Genesys Joint Venture Group (60%) The culture at SHSC centers around client satisfaction, employee engagement, and innovation of care.

Next, a complete review of the operating expenses was performed
Non-operating expenses were also considered
Finally, business ratios were reviewed to analyze the financial health of SHSC
The future looks very promising for Spring Health Surgery Center To be successful under MACRA, SHSC, as an ambulatory surgery center, will focus on the following MIPS categories: Quality Clinical Practice Improvement Solution – Ensure physician engagement by Board rotation assignments and monthly revenue / quality dashboard. Cost/Resource Use While SHSC does not have to address EHR usage, we recognize the value of integrating our EHR with our IDS, Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center to drive better patient and quality health outcomes.
In order to be completely successful under MACRA, a fully integrated EHR is required Proposed Solution for Approval Request $618,000 in Year 1 as an initial investment for IT support to integrate SHSC’s EHR with our IDS, Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center. The IT support cost will increase incrementally year over year in relation to the increase in case volume. Note – any negative impacts to profitability as a result of the move to value-based reimbursement or increased competition in the region can be offset by expanding service specialties or service days / hours.
