WHAT IS THE
ACCREDITATION ASSOCIATION?
The
Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care - also known
as AAAHC or the Accreditation Association - 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
over 4,000 organizations.
What makes
us unique is that we use practicing health care professionals
to perform the accreditation survey. Our surveyors are experienced
volunteer medical practitioners who bring a professional "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.
Accreditation
from AAAHC ensures that your ambulatory care center adopts best
practices in health care and complies 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.
