Ambulatory services have positively impacted the U.S. healthcare system, making care more accessible, efficient, and cost-effective for patients and providers. The number of inpatient admissions has significantly decreased in recent years due to shifting procedures to ASCs. In the U.S., more than 65% of surgeries are performed in ASCs. This is primarily due to high inpatient hospitalization costs and a rise in the adoption of advanced technologies by ASCs, enabling rapid & cost-effective treatment provision. Growing pressure from payers and Medicare has also increased the number of people preferring nearby ambulatory community care units for diagnostic tests over city hospitals.
