AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTERS (ASC) CONTINUED

On-time, pre-operative administration of antibiotics is considered a best practice to prevent surgical site infection.
Prophylactic IV Antibiotic Administration On-Time – Per ASC SCIP Protocol (Percent - Higher is Better)
VALUE-BASED CARE
There is a growing trend across the U.S. to move healthier patients from the hospital to the short stay or ambulatory surgery center setting for surgery. ASCs offer high quality, efficient and customer-focused care at a lower cost. All of these attributes contribute to value-based care and benefit the patient, the payer and self- funded employers.
With its private, overnight recovery rooms, HOI’s surgery centers offer a more extensive surgical list in the ambulatory setting. OSCOC has been very successful with outpatient total hip replacements for the healthier population. Patients receive all the same protocols for joint replacement as in
a hospital setting; however, they also receive one-on-one nursing care throughout the entire recovery phase. They are up and walking within hours of surgery and walking out the door to go home by the next morning.
With appropriate medical criteria and protocols, ASCs can safely offer what have always been considered hospital-based surgical domains, such as joint replacement and spine procedures, with comfortable and safe discharge home in a matter of hours.
