Outpatienting technology

Hi, there is a recent term in Russian language literally meaning "inpatient clinic-relacing technology," meaning a technology allowing health care institutions to transfer some patients from inpatient to outpatient care (e.g. making surgical procedures without the need to stay overnight). It appeared in a text I'm translating, and I could not find a direct equivalent in English, so I'd like to ask native speakers how does "outpatienting technology" sound in English? Or maybe there already is another term for that in English?

Sounds made-up (I could find no examples of it).

Not that it is bad. In english, people "make-up" words for creative purposes, by mashing words together.

If you used it, I would only use it in an informal way and probably in a fun way.

Formally, I'd
