Abstract
The percentage of freestanding surgery centers located within 250â¯yards of main hospital buildings is sufficiently large to influence analyses. When using US national data, ambulatory surgery reported as performed at a hospital should not be considered as having been performed within the hospital. Similarly, hospital affiliated freestanding surgery centers should not be assumed to be more than a 5â¯min walk for anesthesia and operating room personnel from the hospital.
