The Joint Commission outlined four benefits of receiving ASC accreditation in blog post.
The key details to know:
1. Completing an accreditation survey and receiving accreditation can build an ASC's reputation and improve the quality of care.
2. Surveys allow ASCs the opportunity to review and improve their policies and procedures.
