A new and last-minute New Jersey state law requires ambulatory surgery centers (ASC) to begin reporting their infection rates to the New Jersey Health Department. The infection rates will also be made public by the state, according to the bill that was recently signed into law by outgoing New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine.
ASCs will have to collect data and billing information similar to what hospitals have to report, but the new law includes 18 months to prepare.
