The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC)

The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) is a nonprofit organization that evaluates outpatient healthcare facilities—such as clinics and surgery centers—to ensure they meet high standards of quality and safety. Through a thorough review process, AAAHC assesses aspects like patient care, staff qualifications, infection control, and facility management. Accreditation from AAAHC signifies that a facility is committed to providing safe, effective, and quality healthcare services. This recognition helps patients feel confident in the healthcare providers they choose and encourages clinics to maintain continuous improvement.
