ASC Quality Collaboration (ASCQC)

The ASC Quality Collaboration's (ASCQC) primary focus is on patient safety, internal measure development, maintenance and public reporting projects, and collaboration with other ambulatory surgery center (ASC) stakeholder groups to advance quality of care delivery. In addition to these priorities, ASCQC: - Maintains ASC Benchmarking data and measure specifications on our website - Provides collaboration and networking opportunities with industry experts. - Provides quality improvement tools and resources pertinent to ASCQC measures - Provides input regarding the CMS ASC Quality Reporting Program through participation in the Partnership for Quality Measurement, annual ASCQR Program rulemaking, and program assistance - Works collaboratively with other measure developers where common goals exist - Seeks to participate in other federal measure development projects that impact the ASC setting, and/or provides public comment when participation is not possible
