Abstract
To achieve excellence in patient care in today's health care environment, physicians must have an eye on maximizing outcomes and safety while balancing resource utilization. Evidence is mounting to support the expanded use of ambulatory surgery centers (ASC) as safe and effective locations for performing pediatric orthopedic surgery for various conditions. Patient selection is crucial to patient diagnosis and comorbid factors to allow ambulatory surgery to be performed safely and may require consultation with the ASC anesthesiologist. In so doing, providers are best positioned to use an ASC to deliver excellent clinical outcomes, maintain patient safety, and secure value.
