In this episode of the ASC Podcast with John Goehle, AAAHC has released v45 of the Standards — with brand-new Artificial Intelligence requirements and a December 15th effective date — and it's a big week around here too: a new ASC Central website, the 2026 Survey Guide, and our September confere...

Survey readiness can be hard to measure from inside the center. Everyone knows the routines, and that familiarity can make small gaps easy to miss.

That is why the 2026 Edition of The Survey Guide for ASCs includes a survey-readiness self-assessment checklist and a 50-question quiz with a full answer key. Use the checklist during a mock survey. Use the quiz for a staff in-service, new leader orientation, or a quarterly readiness check.

These tools are not about producing a perfect score. They give ASC leaders a practical, repeatable way to find the next issue that needs attention before a surveyor does.

When a compliance question comes up in an ASC, you need to find the answer quickly and get back to work.

The Survey Guide for ASCs—2026 Edition was designed as a working desk reference. Look up the topic and go directly to the applicable regulation, interpretive guidance, survey procedure, and plain-language Author’s Note—all organized together.

A topic finder, data-tag index, glossary, and full subject index make it easy to use during policy reviews, staff education, mock surveys, and survey preparation.

This is a book to keep within arm’s reach, not sitting unopened on a shelf.
