U.S. Renal Care

DSI Renal is a leading provider of dialysis services in the United States to patients suffering from chronic kidney failure. We plan growth through acquisition, development of new clinics, and organic growth.

MISSION - Our mission is to partner with physicians of different specialties to provide high quality services that are evidence-based and improve clinical outcomes. Our initial services are radiation oncology, and renal dialysis. VISION - Our vision is to be the first national clinical enterprise to consolidate ambulatory services from multiple specialties. RATIONALE - ASA was formed in response to powerful health care market trends: Consistent migration of services from the hospital to the outpatient setting Growing recognition that health care delivery is not uniform among providers, and that quality is variable Increasing patient demand for convenience without sacrificing quality Universal need among payers to control costs Physicians seek more control over the delivery of services as reimbursement for their services diminishes The clinical rationale for ASA: Assists practices to develop information technology capability to enhance the practice of evidence-based medicine Permits practices to benchmark with peers and share best practices Helps practices adopt expensive new technologies and expand their service offerings Creates a national network of practices to facilitate clinical investigation, providing patients with access to novel therapies The business rationale for ASA: Sharing information technology and other infrastructure among business units reduces operating costs Diversification of service lines reduces revenue risk from payers Consolidation of services strengthens lobbying position with Congress and centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Facilitates national contracting for multiple service sites Joint-venture model aligns interests of ASA and physician partners to provide cost-effective and high quality services Creates an opportunity for physician partners and ASA associates to participate in the value created in the public equity market In concert with physician partners, ASA helps hospitals develop business strategies to provide ambulatory services The model attracts and retains a talented work force
