How St. Cloud ENT partnered with an ASC to improve sleep apnea outcomes and grow surgical services
St. Cloud ENT partnered with an ambulatory surgery center (ASC), several sleep clinics, and a local hospital to make the Inspire hypoglossal nerve stimulation procedure available to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients who are unable to tolerate CPAP therapy. Along with a dedicated staff that conducts pre-consultation patient screenings to identify patients who are eligible for the implant, these partnerships increase efficiency and financial viability, leaving more time for providers to see patients and perform other in-clinic duties.
