In this episode, Grant Duncan sits down with Katie Sypher, a registered dietitian and healthcare operations leader, and Michael McClain, founder of LeftCoast Healthcare Advisors, to tackle one of the most overlooked challenges in the ASC space: communication. They share practical strategies for aligning messaging between clinics, surgery centers, and patients — covering everything from mapping touchpoints to creating a single source of truth to reduce duplication, avoid confusion, and build patient trust.
After that, tune into our Data & Insights segment, where we explore why ASCs saw claim denial rates drop from 8% to 4% in 2024 — a 50% improvement — and what your center can do to replicate that success.
