Mobile Surgery Units™ (MSUs) are U.S. healthcare code compliant mobile ambulatory surgery facilities.  Essentially a hospital on wheels, MSUs are designed to provide on-site surgical services for hospitals renovating operating rooms and to provide additional operating room capacity.  MSUs can support physician groups with insufficient case volume to justify a free-standing Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) or provide on-site surgery at correctional facilities.  One value of the MSU is its ability to support disaster readiness applications and international and humanitarian missions.

VALUE PROPOSITION
 

MMIC has documented cost savings in the millions of dollars relative to the use of MSUs to support hospital renovation projects for government, private and public hospitals.  Customers save money by utilizing MSUs to replace operating rooms being renovated or added.  Use of the MSUs allow government facilities to avoid outsourcing surgery at considerable expense while maintaining the revenue stream for private and public facilities.  An analysis entitled "VA MSU/MEU Utilization/Cost Savings.

 

Overview" describing how much a government facility such as a VA Medical Center can save by using MSUs and/or MEUs during renovations is provided as a download to the right.  Use of MSU facilitates faster construction and provides a safe environment for patients to receive surgery without the risk of exposure to construction contaminants.
