title: Endoscopic ambulatory surgery centers.
abstract: Endoscopic ambulatory surgery centers are more efficient than hospital-based procedures, they are less costly to payers than hospital-based procedures, and they provide an additional source of revenue to healthcare providers. Physicians interested in establishing endoscopic ambulatory surgery centers must be aware of advantages and disadvantages of such units as well as optimal financing and equipment and personnel utilization.
