Growth isn't slowing down in high-demand markets.

Novant Health has received approval to build a new hospital and freestanding emergency department in one of North Carolina's fastest-growing areas—aimed at expanding access and meeting rising patient demand.

With additional outpatient expansion already in motion, it's a clear signal of how systems are investing across the full continuum of care.

How much does insurance status influence surgical outcomes?

A new study in Scientific Reports highlights a stark reality in colorectal cancer care: patients without private insurance face significantly worse outcomes—even when undergoing similar procedures.

The findings point to deeper issues around access, timing of care, and systemic disparities that continue to impact patient outcomes.

For perioperative leaders, it raises an urgent question: how can we close these gaps and deliver more equitable care?

Policy shifts could reshape access to outpatient surgery.

Bipartisan legislation—the Outpatient Surgery Access Act of 2026, introduced by John B. Larson and Beth Van Duyne—aims to expand access to ASCs for Medicare seniors by addressing long-standing payment disparities.

The goal: better align reimbursement, support site neutrality, and make it easier for patients to receive care in lower-cost settings.

For ASC leaders, this could have major implications for access, growth, and reimbursement strategy.

Big ASC projects don't happen without hurdles.

Prisma Health is making progress on a major outpatient surgery center in Tennessee—but the project still hinges on final zoning approval, with questions around land use, infrastructure, and community considerations.

It's a reminder that growth in the ASC space isn't just about demand—it's about navigating regulatory and local barriers, too.

New research published in JAMA Network Open suggests continuous vital sign monitoring in the first 48 hours after noncardiac surgery may catch abnormalities that intermittent checks can miss—especially when it comes to oxygen levels.

Earlier detection could mean earlier intervention… and potentially fewer complications.
For perioperative leaders focused on safety and outcomes, this raises an important question: is intermittent monitoring enough?
