We are continuing our three-part series about QAPI studies. Last week, we heard from Becky Ziegler-Otis, who shared some fantastic insights into how you can generate new ideas. And today, I had the chance to talk with Tina DiMarino. Tina is the CEO of Custom Surgical Consultants, a Board member of the Maryland ASC Association, and an AAAHC Surveyor. So Tina will give up the inside scoop on what specific aspects of QAPI studies surveyors typically focus on during an inspection.

After my conversation with Tina, we’ll switch to our Data & Insights segment. In September, HST released our annual State of the Industry report, which analyzed client data from 590 surgery centers. Today, I’ll share the cardiology trends we saw from 2023 to 2024, specifically around OR duration, revenue per case, and revenue per OR minute.
