Fremont, CA: ASCs, or outpatient surgery centers, are hospitals that specialize in offering surgical care without requiring the patient to stay overnight. Compared to hospital surgery, outpatient procedures have many advantages. The differences that we believe you will discover to be most significant are noted below.
1. Reduced price
Hospitals can cost 45–60% more than outpatient surgery clinics, which is advantageous for patients, insurance companies, and taxpayers. In reality, if all surgeries that qualified for coverage were carried out at the outpatient surgical facilities, the Department of Health and Human Services predicted savings of $15 billion for taxpayers and $3 billion for Medicare patients. The fact that the quality of healthcare delivered by surgery centers is on par with, if not better than, that provided by hospitals is crucial to patients.
2. Security
The fact that it is thought to be safer and cleaner to have surgery at an outpatient surgical facility is another benefit. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 8.95 out of every 1,000 hospitalized patients experienced a surgical site infection (SSI) in 2010.
This is because a patient's medical history is reviewed before surgery, and people who have communicable diseases are not permitted to have surgery at an outpatient surgery center.
