About
Ambulatory Surgery Centers are facing increasing pressure to improve operational efficiency, maintain accreditation readiness, and support growing procedural volumes with limited resources. While documentation, instrument management, sterile processing, preference cards, and throughput are often addressed as separate operational priorities, these areas are deeply interconnected and can have a significant impact on overall performance.

This session will explore how ASC leaders can evaluate these challenges through a connected workflow approach. Attendees will gain insights into the relationship between documentation practices, accreditation requirements, sterile processing operations, and procedural readiness, while examining strategies to improve efficiency, reduce workflow friction, and support sustainable growth. Participants will leave with a practical framework for assessing workflow performance across the perioperative and sterile processing continuum and identifying opportunities for operational improvement.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Explain how documentation, accreditation readiness, and sterile processing workflows interconnect, identifying gaps that impact ASC performance.
2. Identify workflow-based opportunities to improve throughput and resource utilization across the perioperative and sterile processing continuum.
3. Evaluate operational or technology-enabled strategies that support compliance, efficiency and long-term ASC growth.
