An increasing number of media reports on patient safety risks arising from
office-based surgery procedures, as well as growing concerns about patient
safety issues in general, have brought office-based surgery as well as its
practitioners into focus and placed this very cost-effective medical practice in
the eye of the media and regulators. Concerted efforts are now being made to
understand the causes and true incidence of patient safety risk associated with
office-based surgery and to find ways to minimize this risk.
