The survey results are tabulated into a detailed summation with aggregate regional statistics. It is further broken down to provide statistics based on ASC volume, multi-specialty ASCs, and single-specialty ASCs focused on GI and Ophthalmology.
To have the most robust and accurate data, we encourage all of our member facilities to participate. This survey will be free to all CASA members who take part in the survey. All others (non-participant members and non-members) will be charged a fee of $500 for the results. Our beta testers stated they could complete the survey in approximately 15 minutes.
