UNITED UROLOGY GROUP
475 facilities serving patients in surgery centres and surgical hospitals .
ASCs are modern healthcare facilities focused on providing same-day surgical care , including diagnostic and preventive procedures .
They have transformed the outpatient experience for millions of Americans , by providing a convenient alternative to hospitalbased outpatient procedures . They also have a strong track record of quality care and positive patient outcomes .
In June 2022 , UUG formed a joint venture partnership in 22 ASCs . At the time , UUG CEO Sanford Siegel said of the deal that “ we have an exciting runway with USPI as our partner ,
and we look forward to bringing our patientfocused cultures together ” – a sentiment Forbes echoes .
“ It ’ s an exciting time for us ,” he says . “ An exciting future .”
Customer satisfaction is everything and in supply chain that means being able to respond to needs in the field – “ such as being able to procure items on shortage , or back order .”
Forbes says running a supply chain is like “ being a conductor at the front of an orchestra ”.
“ I might need to set up a regional hub-andspoke in our Maryland market to manage a shortage , else we ' re going to run out of products to certain clinics .”
Forbes ’ voice tails off , as he lets the implications of that sink in : compromised care for patients , some of whom will be seriously ill . “ It might be that we have to consolidate our inventory , and then I ’ m the conductor on that ,” he adds , waving an imaginary baton .
