Facility managers responsible for accredited ambulatory surgery centers must be aware of the special operational upkeep issues and maintenance requirements for these centers, according to an article from Building Operating Management on the FacilitiesNet website.

Because they involve sterile surgical environments such as operating rooms, accredited ambulatory surgery centers fall under the jurisdiction of several critically important regulatory bodies, each with its own distinct points of emphasis.
For the facility manager, the bottom line is not merely understanding the various regulations, inspections and other communications involved, but the proper care and implementation of what might be called the life-safety compliance book.
