In 2022, around 537 million outpatient visits took place in hospitals across the United States. During that year, with an estimated 519 million visits, most outpatient visits took place in general medical and surgical hospitals. Since 2015, the number of outpatient visits had an overall increase in the US. However, as a probable result of the coronavirus pandemic, the number of outpatient visits decreased in 2020.
