Q1 2026 CASA Benchmarking is Open
CASA Benchmarking is Open for Q1 2026
Benchmarking is one of the most powerful tools an Ambulatory Surgery Center has to drive measurable improvement and sustained success. The CASA Benchmarking Program goes beyond simple comparison, equipping you with credible, ASC-specific data that aligns with regulatory expectations while giving your team clear direction. It empowers you to identify gaps, prioritize meaningful improvements, and track progress over time. In a tight-margin environment with rising expectations, benchmarking helps your ASC keep pace—and operate with intention, accountability, and a commitment to excellence.
The system is now open for 1st Quarter 2026 data entry.
To simplify participation, CASA has created several tutorials for new and returning users, along with helpful tools to guide you through each step of the data collection process. Access the webinar and resources here: CASA Benchmarking Resources.
CASA's 2026 Salary Survey is Open
It is that time of year to submit your information for the annual CASA Salary Survey. Each year, the survey becomes more successful with increased participation and expanded results.
We've tabulated the survey results into a detailed summary 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 ensure the most robust and accurate data, we encourage all member facilities to participate. This survey will be free for all CASA members who participate. All others (non-participant members and non-members) will be charged a $500 fee for the results. It’s an easy, 15-minute Survey.
To take part in the survey, please access the following link. The survey will be open until April 30, 2026.
