Elmhurst Outpatient Surgery Center’s mission is to provide first class surgical care that exceeds expectations of patients, family members and physicians.
EOSC is a multispecialty surgery center providing a full range of surgical care including spine and total joint procedures. EOSC has been servicing the Elmhurst community and surrounding suburbs since 1999. Over 8,500 patients, ranging 6 months to 99 years, are treated annually.
EOSC is located on the Elmhurst Hospital campus in the Center for Health building.
When patients choose an ambulatory surgery center (ASC), most find that the process is much more convenient, as well as more personal than a hospital setting. Our center offers a relaxed environment with medical providers focused on offering individualized patient care. Our specialized staff help each patient’s visit go as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Other benefits of an ASC include:
Our Center offers patient registration, waiting rooms, surgical suites and recovery rooms all in one convenient location. Since all surgeries at an ASC are scheduled, your procedure is rarely bumped or delayed by an emergency case.
ASCs are highly regulated to ensure quality care and patient safety. Our Center is independently regulated by processes including state licensure, voluntary accreditation and Medicare certification.
We see outpatient surgical patients only. If a patient is ill, we reschedule the procedure for a later date. Therefore, there is a much lower opportunity for someone else’s illness to become yours in an ASC than in a hospital.
We know exactly how many patients we will serve each day and can, therefore, staff appropriately to ensure very personal care. Our priority in the center is you and your procedure.
Since we do not have the overhead of a hospital, our ASC is able to perform your procedure at the same high level of care with the same specialized attention but at a lower cost, Patients typically pay less co-insurance when their procedure is performed at an ASC.
EOSC is accredited by The Joint Commission, an independent, not-for-profit organization that accredits and certifies more than 20,000 health care organizations across the United States. Joint Commission accreditation is universally recognized as a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to meeting certain performance standards.
EOSC voluntarily sought this independent evaluation of our standards compliance because we want to provide the best in patient care services.
EOSC was one of the first ASC centers to participate in the national Leapfrog ASC Survey.
Leapfrog was founded in 2000 by large employers and other purchasers, The Leapfrog Group is a national nonprofit organization driving a movement for giant leaps forward in the quality and safety of American health care.
EOSC voluntarily participates in this quality benchmark survey because we believe in continual process improvement and safety.
EOSC actively participates in the Press Ganey patient satisfaction survey.
EOSC consistently receives 5-star facility ratings from our patients.
