Hospitals are busy places filled with patients who are giving birth, sick, injured, having medical tests performed, having surgery, and dealing with other issues. These large medical facilities are staffed with doctors and nurses who are ready to perform if you need surgery.
So you may wonder why you would choose an outpatient surgery center rather than having surgery in a hospital. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of an ambulatory surgery center (also called an ASC) and where you can find an outpatient center near you:
You Can Go Home on the Same Day as the Procedure
Regardless of what type of procedure you have at an outpatient surgery center, you can leave later that day. Therefore, you don’t have to stay overnight at a hospital in a bed that isn’t yours, and with strangers and loud sounds waking you up throughout the night.
Rest assured that if you happen to experience a complication during your outpatient surgery, such as an infection or a reaction, the surgical center will send you to an affiliated hospital. These specialty medical centers have partnerships with area hospitals for such an event.
Medical Staff Can Focus More on You
The staff at an ambulatory clinic has one responsibility: to take care of patients who are having surgery or a medical procedure today. The staff will focus on you for the duration of your stay, and they have a smaller number of patients to focus on as opposed to in a hospital – so the medical attention you receive is more personal.
You Can Save Money
In most cases, you’ll spend less money when you opt for surgery in an ambulatory surgical center as opposed to a hospital, even for the same procedure. You may save hundreds of dollars, and this is because you are requiring fewer medical resources insofar as personnel and space for your procedure.
You Can Enjoy Better Medical Outcomes
Operations and procedures that are performed at outpatient surgery centers tend to produce better patient outcomes than those performed at hospitals. This is largely due to the fact that you are not being exposed to other patients’ germs for as long a period while you are there, so there is much less of a risk of infection. There are also fewer people at an outpatient center, so there is less exposure.
