Design and Build your ASC in Los Angeles

It’s never been a better time to design and build your Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC). Outpatient center construction is up in areas all over Los Angeles county and neighboring towns in Orange and Ventura counties. 

This Covid era has many hospitals wards functioning at maximum capacity. As a result, more emergency patients are turning to local surgery centers for help. From orthopedic surgery to diagnostic imaging specialists, ASC design and build projects are surging across southern California.

Patients seeking emergency care now have the option of visiting an ASC for convenience and immediacy. 

Some of the top reasons that patients visit an ambulatory surgery center over a larger hospital include:

1. Adjacency. Design your medical space in an area that may be under-represented by the local hospital. Patients would rather choose a satellite patient care option that is nearby. Your outpatient clinic can integrate with local hospitals in order to provide those patients with a healthcare option that is closer to home and easier to get to in times of an emergency.
2. Immediacy. Visiting a primary care physician sometimes requires an appointment scheduled weeks in advance, especially in some of the larger hospitals in the LA area. Even a visit to the emergency room can take longer than expected, as ambulance admittances take precedence over walk-ins. ASC construction is up as healthcare providers rush to meet the demands of a patient consumer base that seeks to avoid large hospitals.
3. Special care. It’s no longer necessary to go to a hospital for specialized services such as urgent care, diagnostic imaging, or even lab testing. Now, ASC centers all over Los Angeles and the San Fernando valley are renovating their medical spaces to provide cheaper and more patient-centric private healthcare.

For starters, choose a location. Also, choose a contractor that complies with government specs in construction. (The Joint Commission is a valuable resource for ambulatory surgery center guidelines and certification requirements.)

Whether you decide to start new construction or renovation of an existing medical office, an experienced medical construction contractor can help you maintain Los Angeles area healthcare compliance protocols throughout the process.
