Surgery Center

Surgery Center Certification

The Ambulatory Surgery Center at our office is certified by the American Association for the Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF). Designed to ensure verifiable quality care with specific requirements, the AAAASF maintains strict standards that the facility must meet. Maintaining safety and quality of care in the ambulatory surgery setting requires constant review. As a leader in accrediting organizations, the AAAASF has developed a program that effectively monitors and implements the latest state-of-the-art advances in outpatient care. These advances directly impact and benefit the patient. To qualify for AAAASF accreditation, the facility must meet specific requirements. The AAAASF rigorously inspects and evaluates each facility to ensure that it meets their standards of excellence. After accreditation is achieved, the facility is required to perform an annual in-house evaluation to identify any areas that may need improvement. Every three years a formal on-site inspection is performed by a qualified AAAASF inspector. All AAAASF accredited facilities are regularly monitored and improved through an analysis of facility performance compared to the established standards.
