• hospital staff, segmented by department, is generally very protec-
tive of their departmental "territory," unwilling and uncooperative in
sharing data with other departments; and
• due to the exorbitant number of software applications at the aver-
age hospital, it can take weeks to gather the information required for
case costing.
For ASCs:
• Many ASCs continue to work on paper charts, EMR and limited
EHR — even though the best practice is to have a fully functioning
EHR in a 100% paperless setting;
• few ASCs can determine cost per actual case on a real-time basis
due to software limitations;
• ASCs often have to bill patients for additional sums or refund an
overcharge — either of which detracts from the overall experience —
because payers don't always provide ASCs with correct information
