Why Use an Ambulatory Surgery Center?
The advancement of medical technology and anesthesia in recent years has allowed many procedures to be performed safely in an ASC setting with high-quality outcomes. Procedures can be done safely and effectively with excellent self-reports and documented responses of high patient satisfaction. The less-invasive procedures performed in ASCs also result in reduced recovery periods and earlier return to work and daily activities. With minimal tissue violation in many of the laparoscopic procedures, incisional pain and scar tenderness can also be reduced. Reimbursement changes, specifically, the tightening of reimbursement for medical services, has also caused health care providers to look at ways to increase operational efficiency, reduce costs for performing services, and increase customer services. These are the tenets of ASC services. To contact an ambulatory surgery center in your area, go to our OAASC Contacts page and click on the center name. Ambulatory Surgery Center Statistics 20
