“As more and more surgical procedures are being performed in doctors’ offices, accreditation by AAAHC reassures patients, third-party payers and others that OBS providers are delivering care based on nationally recognized standards," said Burke. “It enhances their profile and prestige in their communities and among their peers."
The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), was founded in 1979 and provides ambulatory healthcare accreditation to more than 5,000 organizations accredited nationwide. AAAHC accredits a variety of ambulatory healthcare organizations, including ambulatory surgery centers, office-based surgery centers, college student health centers, managed care organizations, military healthcare clinics, large medical and dental practices and medical homes.
