Time Running Out to Register for ASCA’s Winter Seminars

You still have time to register for ASCA’s 2018 Winter Seminars, January 11–13, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sign up now to learn how to implement an effective infection prevention program, minimize your regulatory and legal risks, keep up with the latest coding and billing changes and improve your ASC’s performance with the expert insights and realworld advice these seminars will deliver.

This year’s program features three seminars: “Coding Update & Reimbursement Strategies,” “Minimizing Your Regulatory & Legal Risk” and— new in 2018—“Infection Control & Prevention Techniques for ASCs.” Each seminar offers three days of focused, intensive educational sessions designed specifically for ASC administrators, coding and billing staff, infection preventionists and other ASC staff responsible for directing and performing activities in these operational areas.

All three seminars run concurrently in the same location. When you register for one seminar, you get access to sessions from the other seminars at no additional cost.

Learn more and register. ASCA members save $100 when registering one attendee and $200 for every additional attendee.

Attend ASCA 2018 in Boston

ASCA 2018 will feature more than 60 educational sessions, one of the largest ASC-industry exhibit halls of the year, extensive networking and professional development opportunities and the first-ever ASC carnival.

New this year are special advanced courses designed for experienced ASC staff. One of those advanced courses will be on information technology. Gerard Nussbaum of Zarach Associates will present Prevent Cyber Crime in Your ASC and discuss who might be targeting your ASC, how they can gain access and how you can keep them at bay.

Once your ASCA 2018 sessions end each day, you can take advantage of all that Boston has to offer. The Hynes Convention Center is centrally located in the heart of the historic Back Bay neighborhood, a world-class shopping and dining destination.
