What are the benefits of the Ames Surgery Center?

There are several benefits to ambulatory surgery centers like the Ames Surgery Center, including the following:

• Patient satisfaction — They have high patient satisfaction due to quality outcomes, patient convenience, and lower costs. 
• Cost — Ambulatory surgery centers are typically more affordable than hospitals because they have less overhead expense than hospitals. They can specialize in a few procedures only and don’t have to be prepared for any and all emergency situations. Procedures can cost 40 to 60 percent less than hospital surgeries. 
• Convenience and accessibility — Surgery centers are typically located in smaller buildings, in comparison to hospitals, and things like parking and wayfinding are easier to navigate. 
• Scheduling — Because ambulatory surgery centers are solely focused on same-day surgery, more efficient scheduling practices and workflows can be adopted. This benefits both patients and the physicians who work there.
