OOSS Progressive Action Study – 2009
Gauging the Pulse and Focus of the Ophthalmic ASC Industry

The purpose of this study is to examine how those interested and involved in OASCs perceive the relative health of their organizations and how they are focusing their efforts and professional affiliations to optimize success in today’s marketplace. The following three questions were addressed in the survey.

• How do ophthalmic ASC professionals view their local economic environments and their future viability?
• What are ophthalmic ASCs anticipating in terms of overall business growth, changes in ownership, mix of procedures performed and facility investments?
• To what professional associations and affiliations do ophthalmic ASC turn and for what specific features and benefits of membership?

Information gathered through the OOSS Progressive Action Survey conducted in the spring of 2009 provides useful insights in response to each of these questions. The comparative information as summarized here should be of value to participating OASCs and OOSS member facilities in their strategic planning.
