Description

Tuesday, April 14, 2026 | 2-3pm ET

This session will examine the CMS requirements for Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC) and Hospital Outpatient Departments (HOPD) concerning space utilization and shared spaces. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of how these requirements intersect with NFPA 101 and FGI 2022 standards. Through the examination of two distinct case studies, the speakers will demonstrate strategies to enhance operational efficiency and throughput for both ASC and HOPD, while ensuring adaptability for future growth and surge scenarios. These case studies will highlight the various ways clinical and non-clinical support services, spaces, and staff can be shared or remain separate between ASC and HOPD. The session will provide clear, concise insights, making it valuable for marketing and accreditation purposes.
