About Our Speaker:
Cathy has over 25+ years in healthcare services management. As Regional Administrator for NovaMed, she oversaw operations of the physician practices as well as surgery centers, and optical shops in the metro St.Louis/Illinois area.
Cathy is President and Founder of Excellentia Advisory Group, a consulting and development company serving both the surgical industry through ASC'S as well as surgical hospitals and the outpatient industry through physician practices and ancillary centers. Cathy for the past several years has studied all the regulatory agencies that impact the ASC industry and has made herself an expert on the subject. Cathy is a frequently speaker at State ASC conferences to speak on regulatory compliance topics. Cathy also offers expertise in running the day-to-day operations of a surgery center and assists several privately-owned surgery centers across the country as their management company. Her vision is to offer services that will be cost effective for her clients and fill those gaps that occur due to immediate needs. She has hired consultants that are knowledgeable and follow TJC, AAAASF and/or AAAHC standards. Cathy herself became an AAAASF surveyor in 2016 and now IMQ in 2018. Cathy has her CASC certification.
ABOUT THIS PRESENTATION
If 2021 is your year for AAAHC survey, you should know the new standards published late last year which will apply to your facility. Complete compliance will be expected.
How better to prepare than watching this one plus hour video presentation where Cathy will walk you through the core chapters as well as those adjunct chapters that generally apply to an ambulatory surgery center. Additionally, we will be supplying you with example templates (links below this page) that you will need to meet the standards. Much of what will be presented is from our recent survey experience and the mock surveys that we perform.
We are offering two (2) sessions and it is important that you choose the correct one for your facility.
OPTION 1: Accreditation for Ambulatory Health Care, v41 which applies to any facility that is not interested in a full deemed status survey. You either do not service Medicare patients or you do and already have your CCN number from a previous survey. You must be willing to allow your State Department of Health to survey you (unannounced) for the Federal requirements if you do see Medicare patients and wish to forego deemed status survey.
OPTION 2: Accreditation for Medicare Deemed Status, v41 which applies to any new ASC that will be seeing Medicare patients, or any facility that has a current CCN number but prefers to have AAAHC do their Federal survey. This webinar will most likely be one & half hour long due to Life Safety Code discussion.
This presentation page will cover only the deemed status accreditation.
If you have questions about which session would be best for you, contact Cathy Montgomery directly at cathy@excellentiagroup.com.
