ASC Accreditation Preparation

Patients and Payers will want to know…Are you accredited.

Patients are increasingly knowledgeable about accreditation, and payers are increasingly demanding that ambulatory surgery centers be accredited. Not being accredited could have a financial impact on your ASC. With increasing regulatory oversight and increasing compliance standards accreditation has become essential for an ASC.

The process

If your ambulatory surgery center or endoscopy center is under development, Ambulatory Strategies’ policies, procedures and operational processes will get your ASC on the right track for accreditation from the onset. If your ASC needs to update or enhance its programs for accreditation, we can show you the way by achieving accreditation in the shortest amount of time, focusing accreditation activities for the greatest impact at the lowest cost, attracting managed care contracting for your surgery or endoscopy center.

Our methods include:

• ASC inspection of physical plant and life safety code for compliance
• Review and rewrite of policy and procedure manuals
• Observation of current workflow and patient procedures
• Efficiently preparing your ASC to meet requirements while streamlining patient and employee workflow
• Providing staff education, including understanding compliance to regulations
• Being informed about regulatory changes and keeping compliance up-to-date
