Why are ASCs So Often Preferred Over Hospitals by Patients and Doctors?
There are a variety of reasons. Ambulatory surgery centers such as SurgiCare are often more convenient than hospitals to both doctors and patients. The entire facility is set up to handle same-day surgical procedures, so operations are more streamlined and are independent of other hospital functions. Additionally, ASCs are more cost-effective. They carry less overhead and procedures cost, on average, 47% less than when performed at a hospital according to some studies.
