Summary
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 conference week. Then John talks with Amanda Penrod about leading across the generations — how to mentor, retain, and get the best from a team that can span four decades of experience. Grab a coffee and join John and Sue. This episode is sponsored by Surgical Information Systems, RFX Solutions, Medserve and Ambulatory Healthcare Strategies.
