If you only had time to do one thing this week to improve your surgery center, what should it be? 

To kick off the countdown to year-end, This Week in Surgery Centers pulls together a year’s worth of conversations into one rapid-fire episode, featuring input from 30 past guests on the closing question of every interview: what is one thing ASC leaders can do this week to improve their surgery centers? You’ll hear practical, do-it-this-week ideas from ASC administrators, nursing leaders, business office experts, consultants, and physicians on:

• Supporting and recognizing your staff in meaningful ways
• Cleaning up payer profiles, item masters, and days to bill to strengthen margins
• Tightening credentialing, monitoring, disaster plans, and IT/infosec policies
• Improving communication with patients, caregivers, schedulers, and surgeons
• Getting your financials and partnerships ready for the next phase of growth

This episode gives you simple, concrete starting points to make 2026 a stronger year for your center — one small improvement, week by week.
