Outpatient services not only represent a considerable reduction in costs, they can also mean a better quality of life in the care of patients.
Such are the observations made by Ezekiel J. Emanuel in his New York Times article where he infers that outpatient services usually lead to a faster recovery. In addition to having a considerably lower cost than being hospitalized.
In this regard, the Cleveland Clinic highlights some of the benefits of outpatient services: the lower chance of getting an infection, a better recovery in a more familiar environment, and better sleep quality.
These are just some of the main reasons why you should be optimistic about outpatient services. The comfort of a familiar and friendly environment is unparalleled, and that is reflected in the patient’s condition.
There are treatments such as stem cell therapies that treat diseases such as autism or cerebral palsy that can be performed on an outpatient basis with all the benefits described above.
