The program applies to surgeries performed in inpatient, hospital-based outpatient, and ambulatory surgery settings and it focuses on quality, consistency, and safety throughout the pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative phases of care.
The accreditor is seeking input from the field on the proposed requirements until May 19.
