22 Why Focus on Perioperative Services? Perioperative Services drive hospitals’ performance. Over 68% of better performing hospitals’ revenue 60% of margin is derived from better performing perioperative services. Successful system under Value-Based Purchasing/ACO provides both surgeons and payors more value for surgical services. Equation: Outcome/Cost By helping our clients tackle the complexities and minimize political and cultural barriers, our clients have experienced significant improvements in surgeon, staff, and patient satisfaction, which has resulted in improved access to the OR, sustainable growth in surgical volume, and increased market share.
