The Ohio Association of Ambulatory Surgery Centers...
supporting the provision of high quality care and professional standards in ambulatory surgical care organizations.
Welcome
Find an ASC
Welcome and thank you for your interest in Ohio's ambulatory surgery centers (ASC). This site is designed to assist the members of the Ohio Association of Ambulatory Surgery Centers (OAASC) and to promote public awareness of ASCs and their services.
Our association is committed to enhancing the quality of care provided by ambulatory surgery centers in Ohio and to promoting high standards of professional conduct among all organizations providing ambulatory surgical care.
In Ohio, the OAASC is the only organization exclusively representing the needs of the state's ASC community. We maintain close contact with state agencies and legislators to monitor and impact regulations and legislation that govern ASCs and improve patient safety.
Additionally, we provide members with information to enable their centers to operate using state-of-the-art surgical, technical and administrative procedures. OAASC offers an annual multi-day conference, timely educational offerings including in-person and web seminars and regular e-newsletters on reimbursement, regulatory compliance, quality standards and other industry-specific issues. Additionally, the OAASC has developed a state of the art benchmarking system so that Ohio ASCs measure their quality processes against their peers in the state.
Should you have any questions about information on this site or wish to receive information concerning Ohio's ASCs or the OAASC membership, please feel free to contact OAASC Executive Director, Randy Leffler (info@oaasc.net).
What's New
Action Alert - ASC Facilities Fees
As you may be aware, we were recently able to successfully remove language from the House-passed version of the State Budget (HB 166) that would prohibit an ambulatory surgery center and other health care facilities from charging a facility fee. We must remain vigilant that this language does not make its way back into the legislation in the Senate.
