title: [The organizational challenges of day surgery for hospitals].
abstract: The ambulatory and conventional care models should not be opposed to one another as they can in fact feed off and enrich each other. The outpatient culture inspires and encourages the drive for more innovative forms of organisation. As a result, a "patient" model emerges, centred on a holistic approach to organisation and patient care.
