What is an ASC?

Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) are facilities where surgeries that do not require hospital admission are performed. They provide a cost effective and convenient environment that is less stressful than what many hospitals can offer.

Patients who elect to have surgery in an ASC arrive on the day of the procedure, have the surgery in an operating room and recover under the care of the nursing staff, all without hospital admission. From pediatric to elderly, both the patient and their families benefit from the comfortable environment of the ASC.

Small staffs and a commitment to flexibility enable most ASCs to adjust quickly to their patients' changing needs.

ASCs are not the same thing as rural health clinics, urgent care centers, or any other ambulatory care centers that provide diagnostic or primary health care. ASCs treat only patients who have already seen a health care provider and selected surgery as an appropriate treatment. Physicians' offices are not ASCs. All ASCs must have at least one dedicated operating room and the equipment needed to safely perform surgery and ensure quality patient care.

ASCs, also known as surgicenters, are small businesses in your community. Sixty-seven percent are independently owned. Several anesthesiologists opened the first ASC in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1970 to provide high-quality, cost- effective health care. Continuing that tradition, many ASCs today are owned and operated by physicians.

The quality of care offered in ASCs is equal to or better than that offered in hospitals. A method known as Peer Review is used in an ASC to ensure quality care. Peer Review is used for physician redentialing, accreditation, licensing, and certification. The Federated Ambulatory Surgery Association (FASA) is a national, nonprofit association that represents the interests of those who operate and seek the services of ambulatory surgery centers throughout the nation. FASA has always done its part to ensure top quality health care from the nation's ASCs.
