Source: https://incidentkit.ai/compare/asc-webqi · Updated Oct 5, 2026

**ASC WebQI**: A cloud platform for quality and compliance in surgery centers, with incident reporting as one module.

ASC WebQI, from ASCistus, is a cloud quality system built only for ambulatory surgery centers, surgical hospitals and clinics. Incident reporting is one module. Others cover audits, logs and checklists, surveys, credentialing, staff tracking, contracts, QI studies, policies and meeting minutes. It also benchmarks against other ASCs. ASCistus says it supports QAPI programs rather than replacing them.

**Best for:** ASCs with one or many specialties, surgical hospitals and clinics. Also ASC companies, management firms and consultants who want combined reporting across centers.

**Ownership:** Developed and sold by ASCistus, LLC. Ownership beyond that is not disclosed on its site.

**Scale (company-reported):** ASCistus says hundreds of ASCs in 40+ states and the Virgin Islands use ASC WebQI (enterprise page, read 2026-10-05). A 2025 Healthcare Tech Outlook profile cites more than 400 sites in 44 states and the USVI.

## Pricing

- **Model:** One monthly subscription with unlimited users, training, support and upgrades included. Modules can be chosen singly or as a full platform, with volume discounts for companies with many centers.
- **Published:** no
- No price list is published. The site shows a banner for a 'Jumpstart' launch offer of ten dollars per license, and the pages reviewed do not explain its terms. ASCistus says a site can be set up within 24 hours of subscribing, with content set up for you.

## ASC WebQI strengths

- Built only for ASCs: ASC specific content for incidents, logs, audits (such as time out and hand hygiene) and credentialing.
- Benchmarking by specialty against other ASCs and national measures, such as falls, burns, retained objects and wrong site events.
- One subscription for a wide ASC quality workbench, which replaces binders.
- Simple pricing: unlimited users, with training, support and upgrades included.
- Features for ASC companies with many centers. Vendor published testimonials praise support, including one from an anesthesia group that covers 70+ ASCs.

## Trade-offs to weigh

- ASC only scope: not aimed at hospitals, nursing homes, home health, hospice or industrial sites.
- The incident module is record and track. AI intake, voice, a root cause tool and effectiveness checks are not described. OSHA recordkeeping is not mentioned.
- An API, SSO and BAA terms are not described publicly.
- No price list. The promotional banner leaves the per site cost unclear.
- No independent satisfaction ranking was found, and it is not in KLAS's safety, risk and compliance table.

## Choose ASC WebQI if

- You run only surgery centers and want logs, audits, credentialing, staff tracking and QI studies in one subscription.
- You want benchmarking by specialty against other ASCs.
- You manage many ASCs and want combined reporting and remote oversight.
- You want ASC specific content set up for you by a vendor that works only in this segment.

## Choose IncidentKit if

- You run more than ASCs, such as nursing homes, home health, hospice, behavioral health or industrial sites, and want mixed packs in one account.
- You want [Lauren](https://incidentkit.ai/product/lauren) to draft reports from plain accounts, plus email-to-incident and QR quick report.
- You want actions with an owner, due date, evidence and effectiveness check, and nothing closes until verified.
- You want SSO, a read API and signed webhooks on the network plan, and a BAA on the regulated plan.

## Switching

- You are adding sites that are not ASCs.
- The team wants investigations, verified actions and AI intake.
- Leaders want links such as SSO and an API.

ASCistus does not publish export formats. Ask for incident records, investigation notes, follow-up actions and attachments with dates and IDs kept. Quality logs and audits can stay in ASC WebQI while incident reporting moves. IncidentKit imports CSV history and sets up migration for you.
