1 PRO-CON debate: Should the definition of Day Surgery in Scandinavia be extended to <24hrs ward?
JOHAN RAEDER Conclusion : NO !! We do not want: Incentive for staying in hospital when not needed Confusion about: terms – economy- reimbursement Increased complexity, increased costs

2 Definitions (rest of the world???)
Outpatient: - Could be sent home right away Ambulatory surgery /Day Surgery: - need some surveillance afterwards -general/regional anaesthesia -surgical procedure In-patient: - Staying overnight in hospital (≠ hotel)
