American Society of Anesthesiologists®
ASA® is the leading anesthesiology professional society with more than 52,000 members. Since its
founding in 1905, the Society raises and maintains the standard of the practice of anesthesiology through education, advocacy, quality improvement and a focus on patient care. Recognizing the
changing field in health care, ASA has developed strategic initiatives such as the perioperative surgical home and quality reporting through ASA QCDR to help our members remain focused on providing the highest quality of care in a patient-centered environment.
