For question:

It is likely that many of the procedures at the outpatient surgery center would have otherwise been performed at the hospital's inpatient surgery unit. How should the analysis incorporate the cannibalization of inpatient surgeries? Would the handling of cannibalization change if you believed that the local physicians were going to open an outpatient surgery center of their own? (Only discuss the issues here -- no numbers required).

You answered: there must be well laid down procures for carrying the activity

Could you please provide more details?

Thank you
