Summary
Office-based surgery and anesthesia are becoming more common and widespread due to the changing nature of healthcare delivery. Increased costs, labor shortages, and reduced reimbursements continue to have outsized impacts on where surgery and anesthesia are performed. The shift from hospitals to surgery centers and physicians’ offices are a natural progression of economic and social forces on healthcare delivery. Innovation and safety are high priorities so that the delivery of this kind of care can be done effectively.
