Accreditation of ambulatory surgery centers.

Accreditation is required for outpatient surgery facilities not only to assure quality patient care but also to obtain a facility fee reimbursement from many insurance companies. General guidelines concerning subjects considered by the JCAH and the AAAHC in the accreditation process have been reviewed. Because actual physical construction features may affect accreditation, those planning office-based and other types of outpatient surgery facilities should be aware of accreditation requirements before construction is begun.

Nursing aspects of outpatient surgery.

The increase in outpatient care presents a unique opportunity for health team members and particularly nursing practitioners to participate in cost-saving practices. The ambulatory surgery setting requires participation in all aspects of patient care, from admission through discharge and provides a comprehensive environment for the practice of perioperative nursing. It also presents a unique challenge to encourage the patient to become a more active participant in the regimen of care, encouraging activities that will assist in goal setting and evaluation of care.
