The ASCs conduct surgeries in outpatient settings to help patients save on cost and duration of the treatment. This is a quickly growing healthcare provider setting, which has advanced operating equipment, specialist surgeons, operating and recovery rooms. Also, compared to hospitals, these facilities have a lesser risk of hospital acquired infections (HAIs). In hospitals, around 29% of the surgical site infection cases were observed in 2014, which increased the hospital stay and cost the patient $25,000 per admission. ASCs maintain procedures to ensure prevention of infection as recommended by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
