ValueHealth® today announced a strategic collaboration with The Villages Health, a healthcare system in The Villages®, Fla., and Orthopedic Care Partners. The collaboration will increase access to specialized outpatient surgical care by developing a new value-based ambulatory surgery center.
The Villages Health and OCP are collaborating with ValueHealth in response to increasing demand for outpatient surgery offerings and the continuing industry shift to value-based reimbursement models. The new ASC will allow patients whose surgical needs are appropriate for an outpatient setting to receive high-quality, value-based care from leading local physicians.
The ASC will occupy a 28,000 square-foot space on the second floor of the existing Center for Advanced Healthcare at Brownwood. Presently vacant, the space will house four operating rooms and four procedure rooms with an opportunity for future expansion to support additional specialties. The multi-specialty center will initially offer service lines for gastroenterology, orthopedics, pain management, gynecology and urology. Read more.
