An ambulatory surgical center (ASC) is a healthcare facility that focuses on providing same-day surgical care that includes diagnostic and preventative surgery. When looking at the ASC, it has transformed the outpatient surgical experience for millions of Americans by providing a more convenient surgical alternative. As much as 65% of all surgical cases performed take place in the outpatient ASC setting.
