• Surgeons must have hospital privileges for every procedure they perform at their onsite out-patient facility
• Deeper levels of anesthesia during procedures must be administered by an anesthesia professional on location.
• All surgical equipment, medications, and the overall environment of the facility must adhere to stringent safety standards outlined by AAAASF.
• The onsite operating rooms must meet and maintain the same standards of excellence to which hospitals are held accountable.
