Register for ASCA’s March Webinars In March, ASCA will offer two webi- nars: “Developing a Culture of Patient Safety” and “How to Give Your ASC the Best Financial Advantage.” During “Developing a Culture of


Patient Safety” on Tuesday, March 10, Lisa Sinsel of Surgical Care Affil- iates will discuss how to promote patient safety and enhance patients’ experiences using a case study of one organization’s journey to develop a patient safety culture program. On Tuesday, March 24, join Caryl Anne Serbin of Serbin Medical Billing for “How to Give Your ASC the Best Financial Advantage.” Her presentation will discuss how to identify warning signs of practices that might negatively affect an ASC’s revenue stream. Serbin also will review ways to correct, or all- together avoid, these pitfalls. Both webinars will take place at


1 pm ET. The price per webinar is $100 for ASCA members and $150 for non- members; both are included in ASCA’s 2020 Webinar All-Access Pass, which provides significant savings on all 17 programs in this year’s series. Learn more and register today at ascassociation.org/webinars.
