Why sterile processing failures in ASCs are crucial to bottom-lines


Wednesday, June 17th, 2026 | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM CT 

ASCs now handle 60 to 70 percent of U.S. surgeries, and the stakes around sterile processing have never been higher. Surgical site infections carry a price tag of $20,000 to $60,000 or more per event, and compliance gaps continue to expose centers to financial and legal liability they can't afford.

In this webinar, leaders break down how accreditation functions as a practical, operational tool for reducing variability in sterile processing and protecting OR performance.

Key learnings:
 
  • The most common sterile processing failure points in ASCs today
  • How infection prevention gaps translate into financial and legal risk
  • Practical strategies to improve compliance, traceability, and defensibility
