The Benefits of Our Ambulatory Surgical Center
There’s a positive trend in health care these days called ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). Many procedures and even surgeries can be performed on an out-patient basis. It’s no longer necessary to go to a hospital. Since their inception more than four decades ago, ASCs have demonstrated an exceptional ability to improve quality and customer service while simultaneously reducing costs. As our country’s health care services often fail to deliver medical care at reduced cost to patients, the experience of ASCs is a great example of a successful transformation in health-care delivery.
