Lisa Ishii, MD, hopes the ASC program she oversees can serve as a model for academic health systems nationwide. Ishii, an otolaryngologist, is the president of the Johns Hopkins Surgery Center Series (JHSCS), which comprises six ASCs in Maryland jointly owned by the Johns Hopkins Health System and Johns Hopkins University. “This is an innovative model where we have strategically moved in a direction of having a fully owned ASC network,” Ishii says.
