The Importance of Office Accreditation Room: 511 ~ 10:30AM - 11:30AM (Sunday, February 22, 2009)
As a dermatologic surgeon and surveyor for the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Healthcare (AAAHC, Accreditation Association), Dr. Roy Grekin knows that accreditation is the mark of quality health care, both to consumers and to regulatory agencies.
Dermatologists perform many of the same office-based procedures as plastic surgeons, including liposuction, laser resurfacing, facial reconstruction, and face lifts. Accreditation demonstrates that dermatologists, like plastic surgeons, meet standards for high-quality medical care and are subject to oversight by their peers.
According to a study from FASA (now the Ambulatory Surgery Center Association), accredited organizations are sued less often and, when they are, their settlements are lower than unaccredited organizations.
Accreditation also is important to regulators. Many states require accreditation as part of their licensure process and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services have conferred deemed status on centers accredited by AAAHC and others as meeting their conditions for coverage.
A unique quality of AAAHC is the use of volunteer surveyors who are actively involved in ambulatory health care and understand the specific issues facing the facilities they survey.
