Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center, a leading provider of advanced vision care and surgery, has achieved accreditation by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). Accreditation distinguishes Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center by providing the highest quality of care to its patients as determined by an independent, external process of evaluation.
Status as an accredited organization means Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center has met nationally recognized standards for the provision of quality health care set by AAAHC. More than 5,000 ambulatory health care organizations across the United States are accredited by AAAHC. Not all ambulatory health care organizations seek accreditation and not all that undergo the rigorous on-site survey process are granted accreditation.
“We believe our patients deserve the best,” stated Mark Rosenberg, CEO of Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Center. “When you see our certificate of accreditation, you will know that AAAHC, an independent, not-for-profit organization, has closely examined our facility and procedures. It means we, as an organization, care enough about our patients to strive for the highest level of care possible.”
Ambulatory health care organizations seeking accreditation by AAAHC undergo an extensive self-assessment and on-site survey by AAAHC expert surveyors – physicians, nurses, and administrators who are actively involved in ambulatory health care. The survey is consultative and educational, presenting best practices to help an organization improve its care and services.
