      The ambulatory surgery center (ASC) differs from the general hospital (GH) in several respects. [] The ASC has many advantages over the GH facility, some of which are financial and others related to patient flow and satisfaction. Clearly, a facility that has a limited purpose and scope can eliminate many services and costs that are necessary in the GH.
