Is Your Center Ready for the OAS CAHPS Survey?
Starting in just a few months, January of 2025, ASCs must conduct the Outpatient and Ambulatory Surgery Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (OAS CAHPS) Survey, or face reduced Medicare reimbursement rates in 2027 onward. As of June 1, 2024, only 20 percent of ASCs across the country have selected an OAS CAHPS vendor. CASA encourages all our members to start preparing now.
OAS CAHPS has specific administration modes and requires ASCs to work with an approved OAS CAHPS Survey vendor to fulfill the reporting requirements.
CASA held an informational webinar for our members earlier this year. It’s recorded and available for our members to watch on-demand and offers Continuing Education Credits and CASC credits.

Leading a Culture of Service Excellence: Lessons From The Mouse
In today’s competitive market, developing a service excellence strategy is an important part of any leader’s role. Beyond developing the strategy, however, there is the challenge of executing the plan. It’s in the execution that service excellence strategies become a reality or simply another “flavor-of-the-month” program. Employees watch to see how committed the organization truly is to customer service and take their cues directly from their leaders. In order to effectively implement an organization-wide service excellence strategy, today’s leaders must rely on the skills of a facilitator and idea champion and must walk the talk of service excellence. Based on the leadership principles Dennis Snow learned, lived, and taught during his 20 years with Walt Disney World, this presentation highlights specific leadership behaviors that bring a service strategy to life and describes how to “hardwire” service excellence into an organization’s culture.
