However, when a woman needs to give birth, she needs to be admitted and that is not part of an ambulatory care anymore. In other terms, ambulatory care is also known as outpatient care.

Physician offices or clinics offer outpatient services. Depending on the specialty of the physician, several ambulatory care procedures are given to patients.
