Cost and Consequences of Non-Compliance
Compliance is a critical aspect of running an ambulatory surgery center, and it is essential for maintaining the health and safety of patients, as well as the financial stability of the facility. One of the key areas of compliance for ambulatory surgery centers is ensuring that they meet the standards set by accrediting bodies such as the Joint Commission and the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). These organizations have strict guidelines in place for everything from infection control and patient safety to staff qualifications and continuing education.
In addition to accreditation, ambulatory surgery centers must also comply with state and federal regulations, including those related to billing and reimbursement, patient privacy, and emergency preparedness. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines, legal action, and even criminal charges.
