Washington DOH issues Non-Hospital Surgical Settings Advisory Work Group Report
Ambulatory Surgery Reimbursement Update, December 20, 2005
The Washington Department of Health (DOH) has issued the latest Non-Hospital Surgical Settings Advisory Work Group Report.
The report, issued in two parts, is "intended to provide policy direction on the options for regulation of surgical settings outside of hospitals. Specifically, the report aims to better define nonhospital surgery and the magnitude of its practice, and address the risks and benefits non-hospital surgery offers. The report includes recommendations for regulatory actions to satisfactorily protect public health and safety while not placing an onerous burden on healthcare providers," according to the report.
Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and office-based surgery facilities are both considered nonhospital surgery settings.
