The Affordable Care Act is expected to bring more outpatient facilities as the increase in insured patients will send more patients to outpatient care rather than the emergency room, according to an article on the Helbring & Associates website.

Tight budgets will also mean that healthcare providers will be renovating and retrofitting rather than building new facilities, the article said.
