Enter your ASC's real numbers below. See exactly how much preventable cancellations are costing your center — in revenue, OR time, and opportunity.
Your cancellation rate puts you in the top tier of ASC performance. Focus on documenting your protocols — your readiness system is a competitive asset. The opportunity now is reducing your residual rate further and building data to demonstrate your clinical excellence to surgeons and payers.
You're running at industry average — but that means preventable revenue loss is occurring every week. The good news: most ASCs in this tier can cut their cancellation rate by 30–50% through systematic pre-op process redesign. The pre-op phone call alone, restructured as a clinical intervention rather than a courtesy call, typically moves the needle significantly.
Your cancellation rate represents a significant operational vulnerability. At this level, pre-op failure is likely systemic — not isolated incidents. The revenue at risk figure above understates the true cost when you add surgeon relationship erosion and staff burnout from chronic last-minute scrambles. A pre-op systems audit should be your highest clinical operations priority.
