The accreditor strategies, shortcuts, and survey-day tactics typically shared in high-cost consulting engagements ($15,000–$50,000)—in one comprehensive guide.
You've done your research. You know you need accreditation. But the more you dig, the more confusing it gets.
Which accreditor is actually right for your facility? What's the REAL timeline? How do you prepare without hiring a $50,000 consultant?
It doesn't have to be this way.
This is the resource we wish every ASC administrator had before making critical accreditation decisions. Not theory. Not regulator-speak. Just clear, practical, insider-backed guidance built for the real world.
How to choose the right accreditor (and negotiate better terms)
The hidden costs nobody talks about (and how to avoid them)
Preparation frameworks that actually work
Survey day tactics from a team that has been on both sides
How to write Plans of Corrections that pass the first time

When we stepped into the world of ASC accreditation more than a decade ago, we learned something most people don't talk about: one wrong choice, one overlooked detail, one misunderstanding of how surveyors truly think—and the consequences land squarely on your team, your patients, and your bottom line.
Over the years, we've watched organizations pay consultants $5,000 to $50,000—not because they lacked intelligence, but because they lacked clarity. We created this playbook so you don't have to.
