Achieving CMS and Accreditation Success: The Role Your EHR Should Play

If your ASC is preparing for a CMS or accreditation survey and your center has an electronic health record (EHR) system, there's good news: You have a solution that can help better ensure your surveys are successful. All it takes is knowing what to create and how to navigate your EHR to address requirements and then training staff on how to access and properly document within these components.

Through such effective use of an EHR, ASCs will put themselves in a stronger position to ensure ongoing compliance with requirements and meet surveyors' expectations.
