Unlock two complementary certifications designed specifically for ambulatory surgery centers.
The Surgical Center Infection Prevention Suite combines Certification in Infection Prevention (CIP) and Advanced Sterile Processing Certification (ASPC) into a single framework that strengthens patient safety, standardizes operations, and helps reduce the risk of infection-related events.
Two Certifications. One Quality Framework.
Certification in Infection Prevention (CIP)
Recognizes surgical centers that implement comprehensive, evidence-based infection prevention systems and leadership oversight processes.
Key Outcomes
- Stronger infection prevention policies and protocols
- Improved staff accountability and competency
- Enhanced regulatory readiness
- Reinforced quality management practices
Advanced Sterile Processing Certification (ASPC)
Validates excellence in sterile processing operations, equipment management, workflow controls, and staff competency.
Key Outcomes
- Reduced risk of surgical site infections
- Safer instrument processing practices
- Improved collaboration between surgical and sterile processing teams
- Greater consistency across reprocessing operations
The Business Case
A Small Investment Compared to the Cost of Failure
The bundled certification offering costs approximately one-third of the average infection-related incident while helping organizations avoid costs associated with:
- Readmissions
- Case delays
- Regulatory findings
- Operational disruptions
- Sterilization failures
Built for Growing Surgical Centers
As outpatient procedure volumes continue to rise, consistency becomes increasingly important.
The Infection Prevention Suite helps establish repeatable systems, stronger oversight, and a culture of continuous improvement that supports sustainable growth without compromising patient safety.
