We are accredited by Quad A, also known as the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF). In Quad A accredited facilities, Patient Safety is First!
So what does that really mean?
Quad A was established in 1980 to standardize and improve the quality of medical and surgical care in outpatient facilities and assure the public that patient safety is top priority in an accredited facility. More than 2,300 outpatient facilities are accredited by Quad A, one of the largest not-for-profit accrediting organizations in the United States. Surgeons, legislators, state and national health agencies and patients acknowledge that Quad A sets the “gold standard” for quality patient care.
