Mass General Brigham and Regent Surgical to improve patient access in New England

US-based Mass General Brigham has partnered with Regent Surgical to establish new ambulatory surgery centre (ASC) capabilities in New England aimed at improving patient access and reducing costs.

It will also enhance the quality of care by focusing on physician support, infrastructure and services.

The Massachusetts Health Policy Commission has found that both government programmes and commercial insurers generally pay lower prices for procedures at ASCs than hospitals.

ASCs also offer more convenient locations, shorter wait times, and potentially reduced cost-sharing for patients.

Regent Surgical will work to expedite Mass General Brigham's efforts to reduce wait times and improve the continuity of care.

The partnership is expected to enhance the patient experience by offering a more convenient and comfortable care journey while supporting physicians and care teams.

Mass General Brigham chief operating officer Ron Walls said: “Patients in the communities we serve often travel long distances and face long wait times for procedures in our hospitals that are much better suited to an outpatient setting.

“With this collaboration, we are investing in our patients and our doctors, with the goals of easing our capacity crisis, reducing wait times for important, low-acuity procedures, strengthening outcomes, improving patient and provider experiences, and reducing cost.”

Since 2001, Regent has specialised in outpatient care delivery, operating ASCs across 13 states, and working with health systems.

The collaboration will provide services for procedures with excessive wait times, such as orthopaedic, minor surgical, ophthalmological, and endoscopic procedures.

By increasing the availability of ASCs in New England, the partnership aims to facilitate quicker access to quality care, thereby improving patient outcomes.

Regent CEO Travis Messina said: “Regent is honoured to create this partnership that will deliver lasting value for patients, physicians, and the broader communities Mass General Brigham serves.”
