What does it look like when healthcare finance, strategy, and vision all collide in one extraordinary facility?

Device Nation is privileged to bring you the story of Indiana Orthopedic Institute's CFO, Jennifer Fry, CPA!

From a childhood shaped by veterinary medicine to the C-suite of one of America's most impressive ambulatory surgery centers, Jennifer's path through healthcare is anything but ordinary.

She's held the room at Franciscan Alliance, St. Vincent Health, Athens Medical Group, and J&J Fry Consulting. She's navigated acquisitions, joint ventures, physician practice management, and interim strategy roles at a major not-for-profit health system.

Now, as CFO of the newly built Indiana Orthopedic Institute in Noblesville, Indiana, she's helping lead what we believe will be a blueprint for the future of specialty ASC care.

In this episode:

🏗️ The story behind IOI's build, how this world-class facility came to life
🏥 A virtual tour of the space (you'll want to see this in person)
💻 The tech stack driving efficiency from Ospitek, to Athena's HOP EMR to AI scribe solutions
👥 How to build a team with a high "PH level", passion and happiness you can actually feel when you walk in
📊 The KPIs every ASC operator needs to be watching
💰 Revenue streams beyond the index procedure , the story on DME in a joint specialty setting
🔩 What a great implant partnership actually looks like — and what reps should be doing right now to be ready for a world full of IOIs
🚪 Patient acquisition, patient experience, and turning patients into your best marketing
🔮 The future of specialty ASCs, sunshine ahead, or clouds on the horizon?
....and so much more!

In just 3 years, IOI has grown from 1 Surgeon to 17, and was just recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in the Indianapolis area!

Be ready to take notes if you're a Surgeon considering getting off the hospital bandwagon, a Rep trying to stay relevant, or a Healthcare Operator looking for a model worth studying!
