This article explores a handful of critical trends that have broad implications for ambulatory surgery centers and health care entities as a whole. As of the year 2000, the health care delivery system is experiencing broad changes and reconstruction in a variety of manners. One of the largest changes revolves around the accelerating movement of patient care from inpatient models to outpatient models, and the commensurate investment and development in outpatient systems and outpatient bricks and mortar. This metamorphosis is particularly evident as it relates to freestanding ambulatory surgery centers. This change in health care delivery will prove to have severe economic impacts on many of the nation's hospital systems.
本文探讨了一些关键趋势，这些趋势对门诊手术中心乃至整个医疗保健机构都具有广泛影响。截至2000年，医疗保健提供系统正在经历广泛的变革和以各种方式进行的重建。最大的变革之一围绕着患者护理从住院模式加速向门诊模式的转变，以及对门诊系统和门诊实体设施的相应投资与发展。这种转变在独立的门诊手术中心尤为明显。医疗保健提供方式的这种变化将对美国许多医院系统产生严重的经济影响。
