ASC Central Premium Access Program
The ASC Central Premium Access Plan includes a patron membership and offers a variety of additional online services to its members. The benefits include access to a wide range of services, including:
- Unlimited access to our popular “Bootcamps”, the ASC Industry’s most comprehensive training for ASC Leadership. Members can attend any number of ASC Administrator Bootcamps and ASC Director of Nursing Bootcamps and can listen to the recordings throughout their membership. Certificates will be issued for all attendees that complete the bootcamps. These bootcamps are usually priced at $1,899.99 for each bootcamp.
- Unlimited access to various conferences, including our Credentialing Conference, Conditions for Coverage Conference, Medical Director Conference and Fire Door Training Conference.
- Unlimited access to the industry’s most comprehensive Infection Control Training, designed for Infection Control Coordinators and those who wish to take the Certified Ambulatory Surgery Center Infection Preventionist Exam. Attendees receive an attendance certificate to provide evidence of training for surveys.
- Access to regular (usually weekly) “Drop-In” Zoom Sessions with the hosts and other members to discuss any ASC Issues.
- Up to five hours of Private Consultations by Zoom (minimum of 30 minute sessions). Any additional hours can be purchased at $300/hour. (Note that this is in addition to the “Drop-In” Sessions to which all members are able to attend). These private consultations can be used for any purpose, but examples could include:
- To discuss a particularly difficult situation
- For advice on starting new services
- To meet with staff for training on any topic you should choose
- Meeting with the Governing Body to discuss the requirements for Certification or Accreditation
- Mentoring of new staff members
- To simulate questions that a surveyor might ask for a particular section of a survey
- … anything else!
- Access to a resource database that includes policies, forms, minutes templates, drills, and more.
- Any staff members in your ASC that are CASC or CAIP certified can receive AEUs and IPCH credits for those course that include them for no additional charge. For example, the DON and Administrators bootcamps include 29 AEUs each. The two Infection Control Course include about 7 AEUs and IPCHs each. Using this platform, a certificant should be able to receive almost all of the AEUs and IPCHs necessary to recertify every three years.
- Using the Chat function on the ASC Central website, you can chat with the hosts and other members of the platform about any issue in ASCs.
