MedServe recently welcomed Jason Buchwald as President and Chief Commercial Officer. With more than 25 years of experience in healthcare and medtech — spanning medication management, infusion, dispensing, and outpatient clinical workflows — Jason brings a perspective that is deeply grounded in the operational realities surgery centers face every day.

ASCs have modernized pain management protocols. The question is whether the operational infrastructure behind those protocols has kept up.

Higher-acuity procedures are moving into ASCs faster than most centers have updated their medication management processes. Here's what that gap looks like and what it takes to close it.

As CMS expands pre-service review and prior authorization requirements, ASCs are facing increased documentation demands earlier in the workflow. For centers still relying on manual processes, this shift is exposing new compliance risks that are difficult to manage at scale.

MedPAC's March 2026 Report to Congress is out — and for ASC leaders, the numbers are hard to ignore. Medicare spending on ASC services grew nearly 16% from 2023 to 2024, driven by high-acuity case migration, specialty expansion, and loosening regulations. Here's what that growth means for your center.

Medication errors harm at least 1.5 million patients in the United States each year. During Patient Safety Awareness Week, it is an important reminder for ambulatory surgery centers to examine how medications are stored, tracked, and documented to support safer care.

The NOPAIN Act expansion isn't just a reimbursement update — it's an operational shift. Discover how a medication inventory management system helps ASCs accurately document non-opioid usage, support claims data, and stay ahead of compliance requirements.

Ambulatory surgery centers are taking on more complex procedures than ever - total joint replacements, spine surgeries, cardiovascular cases. But with high-acuity procedures comes a significant increase in controlled substance use and compliance risk. Here's what your ASC needs to know about evolving your medication management infrastructure.

As more complex procedures move from hospitals into ASCs, staffing expectations and compliance requirements are changing. Here’s what ASC leaders need to know.

A Florida hospital's medication inventory system uncovered a four-month narcotic diversion scheme. Here's what healthcare leaders need to know about prevention.
