Elevating Quality Assurance & Performance Improvement in Ambulatory Surgery Centers
8-Hour Live Virtual Conference with On-Demand Access After the Summit
Date: February 26, 2026
Time: 8:00 AM – 5:30 PM EST
Designed specifically for ASC Administrators, Clinical Directors, Quality Managers, and Compliance Leaders
In today’s highly regulated and value-driven healthcare environment, a strong, proactive Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) program is no longer optional for ambulatory surgery centers—it is the cornerstone of patient safety, regulatory compliance, and financial viability. CMS surveyors now scrutinize QAPI documentation and outcomes more closely than ever, and facilities with immature or reactive programs face immediate jeopardy citations, loss of deemed status, and potential termination from Medicare. Beyond compliance, an effective QAPI program drives measurable reductions in infections, complications, cancellations, and readmissions while improving patient satisfaction, staff engagement, and physician retention. ASCs that treat QAPI as a strategic priority consistently outperform their peers in both clinical outcomes and profitability.
This summit is presented by ASC Central, the trusted education partner to hundreds of surgery centers nationwide for more over five year. Our faculty includes AAAHC surveyors, nationally recognized QAPI consultants, and ASC administrators who have successfully guided facilities through corrective action plans and achieved exemplary survey results. As the ASC Industry’s leading provider of live and on-demand virtual conferences, we have built our reputation on providing engaging, entertaining and comprehensive programs.
