November 13th-14th
Infection Prevention Preconference on November 12th
Hilton Polaris Columbus, 8700 Lyra Drive, Columbus, OH
Another year has passed and you might say that by now we have settled into the “new normal” of the post-COVID world. In some ways it might feel like we’ve all started over, and keeping that in mind, revisiting the fundamentals for operating the most successful ASC is key. Through it all, we have continued to provide high quality patient care that is safe, cost effective and efficient, while maintaining the high level of patient, physician, and employee satisfaction that ASCs are known for.
In keeping with the OAASC’s tradition of “something for everyone” you will see that we have a vast array of speakers on various subjects that we all deal with daily. Whether it be you, your nurse manager, your business office manager or one of your team members, you will all find something that relates to your area of expertise.
In addition to our clinical and business-based breakouts, we have a preconference workshop devoted to Infection Prevention. Not only will this track meet your CMS and Accreditation Organization IP Education requirements, but it will also provide you with pertinent information that will help take your IP program to the next level.
And of course, you don’t want to forget about our expanded vendor area! It will be filled with incredible exhibitors sharing information about about new products and services. Better yet, you might possibly win some prizes!
On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the OAASC, I look forward to seeing you in November for what promises to be yet another outstanding conference.
Roger Alban, RN, BS
OAASC Chair
