title: Ambulatory care of the 1990s stretches the imagination.
abstract: Hospitals are responding to consumers' demand for outpatient care in big ways.

But some experts say that even though the ambitious ambulatory-care projects generate traffic, they don't necessarily translate into more patients and revenues for the sponsoring hospitals.
