Implementing an ambulatory surgical unit in pediatric urology.
Health care professionals have been asked to do more with less and examine every possible option to cut costs but not service. To meet this challenge, a pediatric urology same-day admit/day care unit provides patients and their families with surgical and diagnostic care that has been well received by patients, families, and staff.
