SUMMARY:W01 &#8211\; HOPD Designation: What It Really Means for Surgery Center Planning &amp\; Design
DESCRIPTION:Hospital Outpatient Department (HOPD) designation can unlock strategic\, financial\, and clinical advantages for health systems—but it also fundamentally reshapes how ambulatory surgery environments are planned\, designed\, and operated.\nThis highly interactive 4-hour workshop goes beyond definitions to explore the real-world implications of HOPD and ASC designation across planning\, design\, operations\, and revenue cycle. Participants will examine how regulatory frameworks (FGI\, NFPA 99/101\, CMS provider-based rules) influence everything from occupancy classification and essential electrical systems to patient flow\, sterile processing\, and survey readiness.\nThrough a guided\, team-based scenario exercise\, participants will apply concepts to determine whether an HOPD\, or ASC model best aligns with defined clinical\, financial\, and community parameters. Groups will evaluate trade-offs\, defend their decisions\, and learn from peer perspectives.\nParticipants will leave with a practical decision framework\, project-start checklist\, and peer-tested strategies to align capital investment\, compliance\, and throughput goals—while reducing redesign risk.\nPresented by the Nursing Institute of Healthcare Design
