Meet Governance Standards and Compliance Requirements 

Governance in an ambulatory surgery center (ASC) refers to the system or framework of policies, procedures, and decision-making processes that are put in place to ensure your center operates safely, efficiently, effectively, and in compliance with regulatory requirements.

A solid governance structure is an essential building block for the success of an ASC – and will help avoid penalties for failure to comply with regulations and policies established by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), and The Joint Commission (TJC).
