  • Title: Endoscopic ambulatory surgery centers in the academic medical center. We can do it too!
    Author: Mamel JJ, Nord HJ.
    Journal: Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am; 2002 Apr; 12(2):275-84, vii. PubMed ID: 12180160.
    Abstract:
    A freestanding ambulatory surgery center (ASC) at an academic institution is an exception rather than the rule. It is a major challenge to the concept of the traditional academic medical center. Advantages and disadvantages are discussed, as well as the detailed planning process beginning with a well executed feasibility study, the hiring of consultants, and financing of the facility. Construction, opening of the facility and operation are not different from other ACSs. However, the integration of teaching and research presents new opportunities. Lessons learned and advice to others are detailed on how the ASC benefitted one specific institution and how it may add value and revenue to other academic medical centers.
