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.

  • Readmissions
  • Case delays
  • Regulatory findings
  • Operational disruptions
  • Sterilization failures
