Since inception Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC) have been about excellence. Doctors Surgery Center of Kingman (DSCK) addresses four specific areas of patient concern.
Patient Convenience
When other healthcare providers make it difficult to schedule a procedure, DSCK works with both your surgeon and you to accommodate your wish for a particular day and time. Likewise, parking is ample and within close distance to the entrance door. Inside the waiting room and reception is more a hotel lobby than hospital admission cubicle. There is comfortable furniture to accommodate everyone. In addition, there is a TV and recent issue magazines. Also, hot coffee is provided throughout the day for waiting family and friends. Finally, staff is quickly able to determine the status of the patient so those waiting can be ready as necessary.
Every patient is given a survey covering basic questions of care. This feedback enables DSCK to change and improve the manner is which it offers both waiting amenities and direct patient care.
Safety
No patient undertakes a surgical procedure without expecting the highest policies and procedures and expertise to assure safety. The equipment at DSCK is state-of-the-art. Every item of patient care is rigorously maintained. Of course, the human aspect of the the delivery of care is the physician and nurse. At DSCK both surgeon and nurse are highly credentialed. In addition, they each see a high volume of procedures of varying types. Thus, over time they have become highly skilled and perceptive.
Quality Outcomes
Medicine is both art and science. The expertise of the surgeon is key in the quality result. Also, the patient must be willing to comply with medical advice and orders. The human body is a remarkable entity composed of a myriad of interconnections in both organs and functions. DSCK has a record of high patient satisfaction with the surgical result. In addition, the level of post-operative infection and and complication is very low.
Lower Costs
Healthcare in the U.S. today accounts for approximately 1/7 of the entire economy. There are several drivers of healthcare costs, including technology, demographics, high employment costs for skilled professionals, malpractice impact, prescription costs, and insurance inflation. In the face of these pressures, DSCK continues to maintain costs that are invariably lower than what would be incurred by the same patient going to a hospital for the same procedure. In fact, Medicare has consistently recognized that ASCs provide the same level of quality care at a lower cost than hospitals.
