Axiom provides OBS accreditation consulting nationwide, supporting office-based surgery practices seeking accreditation across a wide range of specialties and care models. Headquartered just outside of Chicago, we work with physicians, administrators, and investors to navigate accreditation requirements with clarity, consistency, and confidence.
Office-based surgery practices face increasing regulatory oversight, payer expectations, and accreditation requirements tied to patient safety, anesthesia services, and procedural complexity. Our consulting approach is designed to align clinical operations, documentation, and governance structures with applicable accreditation standards and CMS expectations while supporting efficient, compliant daily operations.
We conduct comprehensive readiness assessments to evaluate current compliance with applicable office-based surgery accreditation standards. Our gap analysis identifies deficiencies, prioritizes risk areas, and provides a clear roadmap to achieve accreditation readiness.
Axiom translates OBS accreditation standards into practical, facility-specific guidance. We help ensure requirements are applied appropriately based on procedures performed, anesthesia levels, patient populations, and specialty-specific risks.
We develop and refine policies and procedures that reflect real-world office-based surgery workflows. Documentation is customized to the scope of services, staffing models, and governance structures of each practice—avoiding generic or impractical compliance language.
Our team reviews clinical records, logs, and supporting documentation to ensure accuracy, consistency, and survey readiness. This process strengthens documentation integrity while supporting patient safety, risk management, and defensibility during accreditation reviews.
We support life safety and environment of care readiness for office-based surgery practices by addressing infection prevention practices, environmental risks, cleaning and disinfection processes, physical environment controls, and staff workflows. Our approach aligns daily operations and documentation with accreditation standards and survey expectations.
Axiom conducts mock surveys that simulate the OBS accreditation process, helping practices understand how surveyors evaluate compliance. This preparation improves staff confidence, consistency, and overall survey performance.
When findings occur, we develop corrective action plans that are practical, measurable, and aligned with OBS accreditation requirements. Our post-survey support helps ensure corrective actions are implemented effectively and accepted by accrediting bodies.
Accreditation compliance extends beyond the survey date. We provide ongoing guidance to help office-based surgery practices maintain compliance, adapt to regulatory updates, and remain survey-ready between accreditation cycles.
Office-based surgery practices operate across a wide range of ownership structures, specialties, and procedural complexity, with accreditation requirements that vary based on anesthesia levels, patient populations, and scope of services. Axiom supports physician-owned and physician-led practices, multi-specialty organizations, new practices preparing for initial accreditation, and established practices navigating re-accreditation or corrective action, while also assisting investors and development groups in evaluating accreditation readiness, regulatory risk, and long-term compliance alignment.
