CDL is Your Trusted Partner in Cardiovascular Ambulatory Surgery Centers & Office-Based Labs

National trends continue to support ASC/OBL growth. CMS now encourages ASC/OBL labs and their expansion to achieve cost-effective, highly efficient procedures outside the hospital. Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) and Office-Based Labs (OBLs) with CDL enable physicians to continue this transformation in health care delivery by performing diagnostic, therapeutic, and device implant procedures in an economical, outpatient setting that is more comfortable and convenient for patients.

As national CV ASC/OBL specialists, we help clients implement all phases of the project from design and funding to facility development, licensure, accreditation, managed care contracting, and ongoing consultation and support. By partnering with CDL, your practice can offer lower-cost services that are more convenient to your patients with better patient satisfaction.

ASC OBL Benefits to Patients

Benefits to Patients

The thought of receiving cardiovascular care is difficult enough to process all on its own. Adding in the discomfort, inconvenience, and unpredictability of receiving treatment at a busy hospital, you can begin to understand the circumstances of cardiovascular patients. For many patients in America, cardiovascular care often takes much longer than it should and can be traumatizing. Patients in the ASC/OBL setting can regain the certainty of knowing that they can undergo their procedure and depart the same day while receiving the same high-quality care — without losing hours in a waiting room.

Benefits to Physicians

If you are a cardiologist, vascular surgeon, or interventional radiologist, then you’ve undoubtedly run into difficulties and delays at hospital-based cath labs. Due to the nature of the setting, emergent cases can cause delays to your schedule, which can adversely affect patient satisfaction, high-quality treatment, and your efficiency while leaving you accountable for procedures over which you have no control.
