More procedures are moving to out-of-hospital care settings such as office-based labs (OBLs) and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) to increase access to quality care and provide financial and operational benefits for the healthcare system.
But opening and running an OBL or ASC brings unique and complex requirements. You need an expert to help you navigate the process. Partner with Philips, the cardiovascular OBL and ASC experts for physician-owned and hospital-affiliated labs.
Have the confidence of knowing Philips can help address requirements and challenges that may surface along the way based on our extensive experience in the cardiovascular OBL and ASC landscape.
Compared to 2005 where only 41% of outpatient surgeries were performed in ASCs.
Lower costs and trends for more convenient and accessible patient care are driving estimates.
Due to patient demand, technological advancements and the need for lower cost of care, market forecasts project a decrease in hospital in-patient surgeries over a five-year period, while ASC procedures are expected to grow.
“ASCs are not new to the healthcare industry. It’s newer to cardiovascular medicine. But as more and more of us get into it, and show the data that it is safe, that we are producing high-quality healthcare in the ASCs, patients are going to demand it.”
David Konur, FACHE Chief Executive Officer

“I believe that office-based labs and ambulatory surgical centers are really the future of healthcare.”
Craig Walker Salutation, MD Interventional Cardiologist, Founder and President Cardiovascular Institute of the South Lafayette, Louisiana, USA
