Ambulatory Care Services
In line with the Cluster development strategies, Tuen Mun Hospital endeavors to shift the traditional in-patient service delivery model towards a quality ambulatory and community care delivery model.
It aims to enhance the quality of patient service, to minimize admission, to facilitate early discharge and to reduce length of in-patient stay.
Ambulatory Care allows patients to stay away from the hospital in-patient environment and shift the performing of medical procedures to an ambulatory setting.
The planning of ambulatory services focuses on the following areas:
- Accident and Emergency and related services
- Ambulatory surgical and related services
- Ambulatory medical services
