WHAT IS THE ACCREDITATION ASSOCIATION?
The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) is a private, non-profit organization formed in 1979 to assist ambulatory health care organizations improve the quality of care provided to patients.
We are the leader in ambulatory health care accreditation currently accrediting almost 5,000 organizations.
What makes us unique is that we use practicing health care professionals to perform the accreditation survey. Our surveyors are experienced health care practitioners who inhabit the same professional world that you do. They bring a "real world" understanding to the process that permits more flexibility in implementing any recommendations.
This peer-based survey process, along with our comprehensive education programs and industry-leading research capabilities, set us apart from all other accreditation organizations.
AAAHC has been granted renewal of its Medicare Deemed Status for Ambulatory Surgery Centers through 2012 by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The AAAHC has held Deemed Status for ASCs since 1996.
Accreditation by AAAHC helps ambulatory care centers, medical groups, community health centers, college health centers, military treatment facilities, and other health care organizations, deliver quality patient care and comply with nationally-recognized standards. Our accreditation is recognized by third party payers, medical societies, state and government agencies. Most importantly, it is reassuring for your patients to know that your organization meets nationally-recognized standards of health care. To Learn More About Accreditation visit www.aaahc.org.
