After this session you’ll be able to:

1. Discuss the most current updates to federal regulations and what to expect in 2020.
2. Identify quality reporting for ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) required by the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services (CMS).
3. State the recent changes to the ASC quality reporting program.

Why this is important:

ASCs are accountable for quality measure reporting to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Specifically, there are federal regulations and data collection for quality measures that need to be incorporated into the day-to-day management of your surgery center. Are you prepared to embrace the “new normal”?

Federal regulatory and CMS quality reporting requirements can be challenging for ASC leaders, and it’s important to understand those requirements. Gina Throneberry is back to explain which regulatory changes have occurred in the last year and what’s ahead in 2020.
