ASCQC focuses on advancing patient safety and quality of care in ASCs. The new tool was released Feb. 3.
The tool is an online survey ASCs can use to “benchmark themselves against key attributes that help define a safe, high-quality site of ambulatory surgical care.”
It is open to any of the 6,000 Medicare-certified ASCs in the country from Feb. 1 to March 15. Topics covered in the assessment include patient safety, patient experience, admissions and transfers, infection control and prevention, medication management and governance.
ASCs who participate will receive a report with individual center results and aggregate results for all participating ASCs. Facilities can then use the results to showcase qualities to patients, payers, prospective physicians, employers and others.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
