Accreditation from AAAHC helps ambulatory care centers like Central Phoenix Surgical Center comply with nationally-recognized standards of patient care. Our accreditation is recognized by third party payers, medical societies, state and government agencies. Most importantly, it provides reassurance for your patients to know that your organization provides quality health care.
Accreditation is a voluntary process through which Central Phoenix Surgical Center is able to measure the quality of our services and performance against nationally-recognized standards. The accreditation process involves self-assessment by the organization, as well as a thorough review by the AAAHC surveyors, who themselves have extensive experience in the ambulatory health care environment.
The AAAHC accreditation certificate is a symbol that an organization is committed to providing high-quality health care and that it has demonstrated that commitment by measuring up to the nationally-recognized standards of AAAHC high standards.
