Ambulatory Surgery Room Schematic Design and Graphic Standards
The ambulatory surgery unit is responsible for the surgical procedures, or operations, performed on patients who can be admitted, treated, and discharged in the same day. Many types and kinds of surgical procedures do not require overnight hospitalization of the patient, and these are carried out on an outpatient basis. The primary benefit derived from this unit is the reduction of costs to both the patient and the hospital. The layout of the ambulatory surgery unit is a similar but simplified version of the surgery department, with additional areas for administrative, family, and ambulatory patient needs. The ambulatory surgery unit includes not only operating rooms, but pre- and postanesthesia areas, dressing rooms, technical support and supply areas, and business office and administrative staff spaces.
