Benefits of an OSC

OSCs offer a variety of benefits to patients, including:

• Choice
  Choosing to have your procedure done at an OSC, offers more options when it comes to location, surgical specialist and scheduling
• Comfort
  Undergoing procedures at an OSC allows for a more comfortable visit when compared to a traditional surgical setting. The atmosphere is clean and pleasant. The staff is highly trained, friendly and available for your every need, helping your visit be as stress-free as possible.
• Convenience and On-time start of Surgery
  In the OSC setting, specialists are able to schedule procedures more conveniently, assemble teams of specially-trained and highly skilled staff, ensure the equipment and supplies being used are best suited to their technique, and design facilities tailored to their specialties.
  Unlike the traditional surgical setting, where an emergency or volume of patients may effect when your procedure will start, an OSC is dedicated to its scheduling. Your procedure will not be bumped and you can always depend on the schedule you are given. We understand how precious your time is and are just a dedicated to helping you keep that schedule as you may be.
• Great Outcomes and Patient Experience
  Patient satisfaction is a hallmark of the OSC industry. This year, more than eight million Americans will undergo surgery in an OSC. Virtually all of those patients will return home the same day and will resume most normal activities within a matter of days. Talk to these patients and you will hear how overwhelmingly satisfied they are with their OSC experience.
• Technology
  At an OSC, bureaucracy and funding does not get in the way of adopting the latest cutting-edge technology. Technological advancement has allowed a growing range of procedures to be performed safely on an outpatient basis. Faster acting and more effective anesthetics and less invasive techniques, such as arthroscopy, have driven this outpatient migration. Procedures that only a few years ago required major incisions, long-acting anesthetics and extended convalescence can now be performed through closed techniques utilizing short-acting anesthetics, and with minimal recovery time. As medical innovation continues to advance, more and more procedures will be able to be performed safely in the outpatient setting.
• Recovery
  Because of the access to cutting-edge, minimally-invasive technology and skilled surgeons, procedures are performed to leave the patient with the shortest recovery time possible.
