 Logo2

 Ohio's ONLY conference exclusively for ASC professionals

September 22 - 24

 

OAASC members, ASC non-members or companies that work with Ambulatory Surgery Centers in Ohio join us for Ohio's only conference dedicated to ambulatory surgery centers.  We address ALL the issues important to your center and especially focus on those concerns that impact you as an Ohio ASC professional.  There continue to be significant changes in ASC licensure in Ohio.  Our conference will address all of those changes and then some. 

 

On September 24, we will host a full day infection prevention training for ASC IP professional.  Remember that every ASC in Ohio (not just Medicare certified centers) needs to have a dedicated infection prevention staff person who receives ongoing training and provides in-service training to other staff.  This IP training will meet that requirement.

  

Join your ASC Colleagues from around Ohio for the premier state ASC conference in the Midwest.  September 22 - 24.

 Full Day Session Sept 24

Accrediting bodies, ODH and Medicare are cracking down on infection prevention. There are numerous items being inspected in ASCs that have never been reviewed before. We want to make sure you have every tool you need to ensure that you pass with flying colors and MORE IMPORTANTLY that you have the safest center that you possibly can have.

This day-long session on Sept.24 (second day of our conference) will cover the entire waterfront on ASC infection prevention topics. A team of experts led by Elethia Dean, Christina Haven and Sue Dill will arm you with the information you need to excel.

This fast paced, informative program will provide excellent, evidence-based information to help you build and enhance your current IP program or build a new one. Attendance will meet CMS AND ODH requirements for infection prevention continuing education.

All participants will receive a certificate of participation, information for in-service training and continuing education (nursing and BASC – see disclaimer).

Register for the day as a single day registrant OR join us for the full conference!!!
