My surgery center confidants, do you know the details of the new CMS quality reporting program and what you have to report effective October 1st 2012?
You can read what you will be responsible for reporting and the breakdown here at ASCA (Ambulatory Surgery Center Association). The ASCA is another invaluable resource for you, so be sure to save this article in your “favorites.”
My last post I wrote about how the Joint Commission is aware that many accredited organizations have not provided Influenza Vaccinations to employees and practitioners in the past. So to help your center along with the process I created an In-Service Education outline and form you can use based on the CDC website and guidelines.
