Medicus report projects 24% more surgery center cases and 2027 anesthesiology, GI shortages

Medicus report projects 24% more surgery center cases and 2027 anesthesiology, GI shortages

Ambulatory surgery center volumes are projected to rise 24% over the next decade. Shortages in anesthesiology and gastroenterology are projected for 2027. That puts the staffing gap early in the growth period, so for operators planning coverage and outpatient capacity, the nearer 2027 date sets the pace.

  • 01A 24% ten-year forecast and a 9% forecast for 2023 to 2028 measure different windows; check the time frame and start year before putting either in a budget.
  • 02With about nine in ten ASCs at least partly physician-owned, a staffing gap could hit physician owners directly as clinicians and investors.
