The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC/Accreditation Association) is the leader in the accreditation of ambulatory health care organizations. A private non-profit entity, it has developed a solid reputation as an advocate for the provision of high quality health care over 30 years. With more than 4,600 accredited organizations, it is the largest and fastest-growing ambulatory health care accreditation organization today.
The Accreditation Association is focused in its approach, concentrating on providing quality accreditation programs exclusively for the ambulatory health care community. Standards are designed and surveys conducted by health care professionals with extensive experience in the ambulatory arena. This peer-based review system allows for a collaborative and consultative approach that is flexible and adaptable to the specific needs of ambulatory health care organizations, making the accreditation process a welcome educational experience.
It is the mission of the Accreditation Association to advance and promote patient safety, quality of care and measurement of performance through this peer-based accreditation program. The AAAHC Certificate of Accreditation demonstrates an organization’s commitment to providing quality health care and third party payers, insurance companies, government agencies and the public recognize it as a symbol of quality.
With the diverse range of ambulatory health care organizations in mind, AAAHC has also made accreditation an affordable process for organizations of all sizes.
