Quality Measures and Guide

Working together, participants in the ASC Quality Collaboration (ASC QC) have developed standardized quality measures appropriate to ASCs.

The National Quality Forum has endorsed six measures developed by the ASC QC:

• Patient Fall in the ASC
• Patient Burn
• Hospital Transfer/Admission
• Wrong Site, Side, Patient, Procedure, Implant
• Prophylactic IV Antibiotic Timing
• Appropriate Surgical Site Hair Removal

For details regarding these measures, please consult the Measure Summary and Implementation Guide.
