Plastic Surgery and Medspa Practice Serving Maryland, Washington DC & Virginia

Posted by Cosmetic Surgery Associates in Cosmetic Surgery Associates on July 12, 2018

Cosmetic Surgery Associates in McLean, Virginia & Bethesda, Maryland has demonstrated its commitment to patient safety by gaining accreditation from the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF). AAAASF is celebrating its 35^th year of promoting the highest quality patient safety in the ambulatory (office-based or outpatient) surgery setting.

AAAASF requires 100 percent 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.

To earn its accreditation, Cosmetic Surgery Associates passed inspection on hundreds of important criteria concerning patient safety. AAAASF facility inspectors are board-certified medical specialists trained to perform a thorough and complete facility inspection. AAAASF facility inspectors follow a regimented procedure to inspect an outpatient surgery facility in the following categories:

General Environment
Operating Room Environment, Policy, and Procedures
Recovery Room Environment, Policy, and Procedures
General Safety in the Facility
Blood and Medications
Medical Records
Quality Assessment and Quality Improvement
Personnel
Anesthesia

About the AAAASF

The American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc. (AAAASF) was established in 1980 to standardize and improve the quality of medical and surgical care in outpatient facilities and assure the public that patient safety is a top priority in an accredited facility. More than 2,200 outpatient facilities are accredited by AAAASF, one of the largest not-for-profit accrediting organizations in the United States. Surgeons, legislators, state and national health agencies, and patients acknowledge that AAAASF sets the “gold standard” for quality patient care.

AAAASF programs include surgical, procedural, oral maxillofacial, international surgical, and dental. AAAASF is also deemed by Medicare to accredit ambulatory surgery centers, rehabilitation and outpatient therapy agencies, and rural health clinics. For more information, visit http://www.aaaasf.org
