WISCA Economic Impact Study We measure the net economic impact of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) on the statewide economy in Wisconsin. We use an economic method referred to as “input-output” analysis. These models describe each state’s economy as a series of inter-linked industries and sectors. A stimulus to one sector, such as a new firm or cluster of firms, impacts all other sectors in the economy, to varying degrees, through a “multiplier effect.” We use survey data on ASC employment and operating expenditures verified by two external data sources to calculate the economic impact of Wisconsin’s ASCs on the statewide economy. We find that ambulatory surgery centers add considerable value to the Wisconsin economy, with a 2010 total statewide economic impact of more than $758 million, including more than $40 million in tax payments and the employment of about 1,573 full-time equivalent workers.
