Patient perception vs. reality: The role of accreditation in ASC safety


Many ASCs deliver high-quality care, yet 35% of patients report reluctance to schedule procedures outside of hospital settings.

This report examines how accreditation can address those concerns at every stage of the patient’s journey, from the waiting room through post-procedure care.

Drawing on patient perception data and ASC-focused standards, it outlines why accreditation plays a critical role in reinforcing safety, preparedness and quality.

Key takeaways include:
 
  • The most common patient concerns about non-hospital surgical care
  • Why infection control standards shape patient perception
  • The role of staff credentialing and ongoing evaluation in patient trust
