Hola,
este es el contexto:
There are pharmaceutical records of patients treated with biological agents not only of outpatients but also of ambulatory ones.
Conozco el matiz de significado entre "ambulatory" en inglés y "ambulatorio" en español, pero no acabo de verlo claro. Agradecería vuestros comentarios.

pacientes que se administran el agente en casa
Como dije en la sección de discusión, yo siempre he visto "outpatient" y "ambulatory patient" como sinónimos, de ahí mi nivel de confianza bajo.
Sin embargo, los agentes biológicos utilizados en enfermedades inflamatorias (adalimumab, infliximab, certolizumab pegol, etc.) pueden ser administrados tanto en un contexto de paciente ambulatorio (el paciente va a la consulta, una enfermera le inyecta el agente y el paciente vuelve a casa) como por el paciente mismo en casa (mediante pens de inyección).
Es posible que el autor quiera diferenciar los pacientes que acuden a la consulta para que una enfermera les inyecte el agente de los pacientes que se administran el tratamiento a sí mismo en casa.

ambulatorio
La diferencia esta en que el 'outpatient' fue en su momento admitido a un hospital por un dia calendario y el paciente 'ambulatorio' es el paciente que va a consulta y alli mismo recibe los agentes.

you would think it would make more sense with "inpatients" instead of "outpatients".

Reference:
In a hospital setting or not
As I understand it, 'outpatients' always refers to care at hospitals (whether it is just a consultation or a procedure that does not require staying overnight)
Ambulatory care is not in a hospital setting and it can refer to a 'virtual ward' where the patient remains at home. These new virtual wards have been piloted mainly to avoid emergency admissions.

Discussion
Ya veo el problema....que tengas suerte con tu cliente para aclarar este asunto. Saludos!
la verdad es que es bastante confuso; el resto del contexto no aclara nada y barajo incluso que pueda estar refiriéndose a "inpatients" en lugar de "outpatients".
Creo que preguntaré al cliente. ¡Saludos!
gracias ante todo.
Sí, es una enfermedad inflamatoria, artritis reumatoide.
"Ambulatory care is a personal health care consultation, treatment or intervention using advanced medical technology or procedures delivered on an outpatient basis (i.e. where the patient’s stay at the hospital or clinic, from the time of registration to discharge, occurs on the same calendar day).[1][2][3]"
