Ambulatory healthcare services refer to a type of medical service where patients can complete diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, or nursing care and be discharged on the same day without hospitalization. This encompasses day surgery, chronic disease management, rehabilitation therapy, and basic medical care, improving the efficiency of medical resource utilization and reducing the financial burden on patients. Based on supply and demand estimates, the global volume of ambulatory healthcare services is projected to reach approximately 58 million visits in 2025, with an average service price of approximately US$260 per visit and an overall gross profit margin of approximately 22%. High-end specialist and private institutions can achieve margins exceeding 30%. The cost structure primarily consists of: medical staff costs (approximately 40%), medical consumables and pharmaceuticals (approximately 25%), depreciation of premises and equipment (approximately 15%), management and operating expenses (approximately 10%), and other costs (approximately 10%). On the demand side, the downstream demand list includes the demand for rapid diagnosis and treatment of common diseases, the demand for long-term management of chronic diseases, the demand for day surgery, the demand for postoperative rehabilitation and nursing care, and the demand for continuous medical services brought about by aging. The downstream customer list includes general outpatients, patients with chronic diseases, the elderly, postoperative recovery patients, corporate health management customers, and commercial insurance customers. On the business opportunity side, policy drivers come from the promotion of the hierarchical medical system, the reform of medical insurance payment methods, and the policy of optimizing the allocation of medical resources to promote the development of day service models. Technological innovation drivers are reflected in the continuous progress of minimally invasive surgical techniques, telemedicine, digital management systems, and intelligent diagnostic and treatment equipment. Changes in consumer demands are reflected in patients paying more attention to convenience, efficiency, and cost controllability, while also placing higher demands on service experience and medical quality.

Ambulatory healthcare services are becoming an important direction for optimizing the healthcare system. Their core value lies in optimizing resource allocation by shortening hospital stays and improving turnover efficiency. Against the backdrop of an aging population and a continuous increase in chronic disease patients, this model has a solid foundation for long-term development. From an industry trend perspective, policy initiatives continuously promote hierarchical medical services and reform medical insurance payment methods, incentivizing medical institutions to transfer more suitable treatments to the ambulatory service system, thereby freeing up inpatient resources and reducing overall healthcare costs. Simultaneously, technological advancements, especially the maturity of minimally invasive surgery and digital medical systems, enable more complex treatments to be completed quickly and safely, further expanding the applicability of ambulatory healthcare. In terms of the competitive landscape, public hospitals still dominate, but private medical institutions and specialist clinics are rapidly entering the market, increasing market share through differentiated services and higher efficiency. The key to the future industry lies in service standardization and quality control capabilities. Integration with commercial insurance and corporate health management systems will become a significant growth driver. In the long term, ambulatory healthcare services will gradually become an important component of the healthcare service system, playing a continuous role in improving efficiency and reducing costs, exhibiting an overall trend of steady expansion and structural optimization.
