Ambulatory care makes sense in today’s health care environment. Patients nowadays prefer the outpatient care rather than being admitted in a hospital for treatment. They are no longer want to stay in hospitals and pay outstanding costs. Hospitals are also encouraging patients to seek ambulatory care due to the fact that they want their facilities to be free in case critical patients would need treatment.

The advancement of technology and patients care needs have increased the need for ambulatory care settings. Patients are seeking less expensive care with less hospital stay. There are several types of ambulatory care settings that provide the highest and most satisfied care for patients: such settings include urgent care clinics, outpatient surgical centers, radiology and imaging practices, physical and rehabilitation clinics, renal analysis centers and even cosmetic surgery spas (Wisegeek, n.d.).

Ambulatory care delivery systems benefit from delivering healthcare to their patients without having to provide it for extended periods of time (overnight, etc.). As such, the many benefits of providing such care includes more specialized care, lower cost of routine and specialty care, and more efficient delivery of care. However, such care delivery must be continuously improved on, in order to satisfy both patients and providers. This continuous improvement involves patient surveys, provider surveys, more accreditation, continuous education programs, and compliance programs. With these specific measures in place, patient and provider satisfaction can be maintained and in some cases, increased, when all of the other components (quality, access, prices) are adequately addressed in conjunction with these improvement measures.
