Valuation
Vascular Surgery is an essential component of a hospital’s overall surgical program and performance. Often under-valued in the eyes of health system leadership, it is critical that health system leaders understand:
- Vascular surgery is necessary for a safe operating room environment and has a significant impact on lowering mortality and morbidity.
- Vascular surgery enables many other service lines that are significant revenue generators for a health system.
- Vascular surgery, endovascular and vascular medical care represent significant growth opportunities due to increasing prevalence and incidence nationally.
Value of Vascular Surgery Report and Supporting Documents
Under the leadership of the SVS Valuation Work Group, the Value of Vascular Surgery Report was developed in partnership with Sg2, the premier authority in health care trends, insights and market analytics. The report provides objective data compiled from Sg2 and external sources, including analysis of national trends, to measure the importance and financial impact of vascular services to health systems.
SVS members are encouraged to download the report and summary presentation and use these resources to engage with their hospital leadership.
