Since your ASC has reopened after the COVID-19 lockdown, what specialty is coming back the fastest as far as volume is concerned?

Our GI cases make up our biggest case volume and they have increased rapidly since restrictions have been lifted. Orthopedic cases have increased regardless of procedure. We test all patients coming to the facility, which has helped case volumes return to normal but does result in a little extra planning on the office end.
