The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) is a private, non-profit organization formed in 1979. Accrediting more than 5,000 organizations, the AAAHC has grown rapidly to become the nation’s leading accrediting body for all types of ambulatory centers including ambulatory surgery centers, office-based surgery centers, college health centers, medical and dental groups, community and Indian health centers, military health clinics and health plan organizations, among others. Notably, the AAAHC is the official accrediting organization for the US Air Force and the US Coast Guard. In addition, the AAAHC International has taken the AAAHC mission outside the United States as it accredits international organizations. Then in 2012, the Accreditation Association for Hospitals and Health Systems (AAHHS) was established to accredit small hospitals in a similar manner as the sister organization. The AAHHS is dedicated to providing high quality and cost effective accreditation services for small hospitals, such as rural hospitals, critical access hospitals, and specialty surgical hospitals.
