Referring Physicians: As a referring physician, you can feel confident that your patient will receive the highest standard of care. AAAASF requires 100% compliance with all standards which means that the staff has submitted evidence of correcting even the most isolated instances of not complying with requirements. Additionally, this facility has demonstrated that all practitioners meet the certification requirements of their respective specialty boards and practice only within the scope of their specialty training and that all therapists, nurses, physician assistants, technicians, and support staff receive appropriate and ongoing training for their duties.

Since its founding in 1980, AAAASF has pursued its mission by setting the highest standards for patient safety and standardization of care in outpatient centers worldwide. AAAASF requires 100% compliance with all accreditation standards and does not offer partial accreditation. If a facility fails to meet any standard, it must correct the deficiency or risk denial or loss of accreditation. AAAASF facilitates patient safety by regularly updating its standards based on patient data and the latest medical literature and requiring facilities to continually self-assess and evolve.
