Becker's Healthcare March 20, 2025
Over the last 12 months, several major health systems have begun doubling down on ambulatory care as it has continued to grow in popularity and demonstrate lower costs compared to inpatient hospitals.
“Nowadays, patients don’t want to go to the hospital. Hospitals are for sick people. Coming to a clean and efficient ASC is what patients want,” Duke Hasson, MD, a total joint replacement specialist, who recently joined Newport Beach, Calif.-based DISC Sports and Spine Center, told Becker’s. “They don’t want to sit there and be in a hospital for extended periods of time. They want in and out. People always do better sleeping in their own bed, being in their own house, being around familiar settings.”
