Many indicators suggest continued growth in the ambulatory surgery arena. Economic pressures, technology, and third-party payers are contributing to this trend. Hospital admissions and inpatient stays are declining. The patient base is shifting to more economical settings. The impact of these factors has been considered throughout this discussion. These occurrences have prompted hospitals to diversify and to create organizational structures that provide opportunities for a total health care business approach. The success of ambulatory surgery programs developed by hospitals has been a major contributor to the continuation of these reorganization efforts. Acceptance on the part of patients and physicians is the major contributing factor to the continued growth of outpatient surgery units. Marketing techniques and consumer-oriented programs, coupled with efficiency and reduced costs, also assure that the ambulatory surgery phenomenon is here to stay.
许多指标表明门诊手术领域持续增长。经济压力、技术和第三方支付方都促成了这一趋势。医院入院人数和住院天数正在下降。患者群体正转向更经济的环境。在整个讨论过程中都考虑了这些因素的影响。这些情况促使医院实现多元化，并创建能够提供全面医疗保健业务方法机会的组织结构。医院开发的门诊手术项目的成功是这些重组努力持续进行的主要因素。患者和医生的接受度是门诊手术科室持续增长的主要因素。营销技巧和以消费者为导向的项目，再加上效率提高和成本降低，也确保了门诊手术现象将持续存在。
