Thanks to advances in medical and surgical technology, many procedures and examinations that once required a hospital stay can now be performed safely and effectively on an outpatient basis. In fact, since the early 1990s, South Jersey Healthcare and providers nationwide have performed more outpatient procedures than inpatient procedures.
