Choose the right perspective
Match the person's center to yours, since a single-specialty center differs from a large multispecialty or joint venture center tied to a health system. Also decide whether your question is mainly about daily operations and staffing, finances and physician relationships, or regulatory and accreditation work, and pick someone whose roles centered on that.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you build the surgical schedule and staffing plan so that operating rooms stay full without overtime piling up?
- 02What do you track every month to keep supply and labor costs per case under control?
- 03How do you prepare a surgery center for accreditation and state surveys, and what tends to go wrong?
