Your ambulatory surgery center (ASC) is in full motion—patients moving through pre-op, surgeons coordinating cases, and staff juggling checklists and charts. Everything depends on timing, teamwork, and precision. But when your electronic health records (EHR) add friction instead of flow, even minor delays can ripple into missed documentation, surgical slowdowns, or billing backlogs. That’s the…
