    Area of Science:

    • Health Services Research
    • Surgical Planning
    • Health Informatics

    Background:

    • Rapid growth in ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) in the U.S. necessitates research for effective planning.
    • Limited research exists to guide community health planners and surgeons in ASC decision-making.
    • The need for tools to support the transition of surgical procedures to outpatient settings is increasing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an analytical framework to assist surgeons in determining the appropriate setting (ambulatory vs. inpatient) for surgical procedures.
    • To analyze Hospital Discharge Survey data for its utility in the proposed framework and for community-wide ambulatory surgery projections.
    • To provide a foundation for future research and planning in ambulatory surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of an analytical decision-making framework for surgical procedure setting.
    • Analysis of Hospital Discharge Survey data from the National Center for Health Statistics.
    • Modeling to project community-wide ambulatory surgery trends.

    Main Results:

    • An analytical framework was developed to guide surgical setting decisions.
    • Hospital Discharge Survey data demonstrates applicability for planning and projections, despite limitations.
    • Models suggest potential future directions for ambulatory surgery planning.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed framework can aid surgeons in procedural decision-making.
    • Data analysis provides insights for community health planners regarding ambulatory surgery.
    • Further research utilizing these models can enhance ambulatory surgery planning and resource allocation.
