What is an ASC?
|
ASCs (Ambulatory Surgery Centers) are surgery centers that only perform outpatient surgeries. Over the last 30 years ASCs have become more and more popular. Here are a few of the reasons ASCs wide spread popularity:
- Safety. ASCs have an infection rate of less than 1 in 1,000.
Hospitals across the nation report over 2 million infections
each year resulting in over 92,000 deaths annually.
- Convenience. Most ASCs are conveniently located with
easy access and plenty of parking.
- Cost Savings. Because of a streamlined process and no
hospital red tape, ASCs can usually offer substantial cost savings.
- Superior Outcomes. Because physicians and staff at
ASCs are so specialized, they can usually offer superior outcomes.
- Service. ASCs are successful by providing prompt,
friendly, and professional care.
