Ambulatory Surgery

 

The Ambulatory surgery sector is experiencing major growth throughout the United States. With increasing numbers of patients being treated at these centers, the risk of acquiring infections as a result of admission also increases.

ICCS specializes in infection prevention practices for ambulatory surgery centers nationwide and has succesfully led facilities through mock CMS surveys utilizing the surveyor's worksheet to satisfy the requirements of CMS Conditions for coverage known as CMS - 416.51.

  • Holding and pre-operative areas
  • Within the Operating Room (OR) suite during a procedure
  • Decontamination Room
  • Sterile Supply Room
  • PACU
