“Over the past decade, advances in medications, cardiovascular stenting, and minimally invasive procedures have reduced the need for performing traditional open-heart surgical procedures,” it said in a Feb. 28 system news release. “With these advances, open-heart procedures have transitioned from emergent to predominantly elective procedures. As we prioritize delivering quality care for our patients, we will partner with other health systems to transition open-heart surgery cases diagnosed at Blanchard Valley Health System.”
The system is also expanding cardiovascular services at its Jane & Gary Heminger HeartCare Center, including cardio-oncology, cardiac electrophysiology, cardiac imaging, and vascular care for the detection, diagnosis and intervention of cardiac disease.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
