Answer to Question 1

True Because patients do not stay in the ED more than a day before they are sent home or admitted to the hospital, it is considered an outpatient service, despite the fact that it is located within an inpatient facility.

Answer to Question 2

False . Treatment at an ambulatory care facility does not require an overnight stay. Medical advances in surgical techniques have resulted in a greater number of procedures that can be performed safely in outpatient surgery centers without the need to keep the patient overnight.
