It's an opportunity to
see your organization
from the outside.
When AAAHC surveyors survey your organization,
it's not a checklist kind of visit. It's your fellow
professionals - physicians, nurses, administrators
- coming to help you be the best you can be.
• We are the leader in ambulatory accreditation.
• Our Standards are nationally-recognized.
• Our surveys are consultative
not just a checklist.
