Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) provide same-day surgical care.
Ambulatory Surgery Centers, also known as ASCs, are modern free-standing, outpatient health care facilities designed to help patients receive quality care outside of the traditional hospital setting. Patients now have the flexibility, convenience and control to schedule a variety of procedures.
Waco Cardiology Cath Lab is committed to improved patient outcomes through utilization of the most advanced cutting-edge technology so that we may offer the widest menu of therapeutic procedures to our patients. The specialized dual purposed ASC/catheterization lab allows for patients who have already seen a health care provider greater access to proper treatment for their condition. In these cases, a hospital stay is not recommended or required by the physician to ensure a positive patient outcome.
Millions of Americans now choose to experience quality same-day care in ASCs, which includes surgical care, diagnostic procedures and a host of preventative health care treatments. With a strong track record of quality care and positive patient outcomes, individuals now have an alternative to conventional hospital visits. These surgeries and interventional procedures cover a wide variety of medical cases.
SCA facilities seek to optimize our patients’ experience through clinical quality, convenience and cost savings.
Clinical Quality:
SCA’s clinical-first commitment has led us to
- Create and adopt clinical outcome metrics endorsed by the National Quality Forum
- Develop a proprietary clinical training system
- Develop regional and national Quality Councils to share best practices
- Invest in hundreds of hours of training for our clinical leaders
Convenience:
SCA surgery centers offer patients easy scheduling, convenient access and short wait times. Our patient satisfaction scores are among the highest in the industry. Many patients specifically cite the distinctive friendliness and efficiency of our teammates.
Cost Savings:
On average, our patients pay approximately 45 percent less than they would if they had the identical procedure performed at a hospital. These savings are reflected in patients’ co-pays and co-insurance. The lower cost of care in our facilities also helps lower total healthcare insurance premiums.
