Owners and governing body members of Ambulatory Surgery Centers assume a significant responsibility in their role, until now there has been no easy-to-read resource to assist in understanding those responsibilities. This book, written by one of the leaders in the ASC Industry provides a succinct summary of the duties of the governing body and the regulations that affect the Medicare certification of the ASC. This book is an essential resource for every ASC and a supplement to The Survey Guide for ASCs - A Guide to the CMS Conditions of Coverage & Interpretive Guidelines for Ambulatory Surgery Centers - the nation's leading resource for maintaining Medicare certification for Ambulatory Surgery Centers.
