High Desert Surgery Center

National Accreditation by AAAHC The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) is the leading national accreditation agency for free-standing ambulatory surgery centers like High Desert Surgery Center. Accreditation is a voluntary process through which High Desert Surgery Center is able to measure our quality of services and performance against nationally recognized standards. To achieve accreditation status by the AAAHC, High Desert Surgery Center undergoes an unannounced three-day survey by the AAAHC expert surveyors at least once every three years. The surveyors focus on all aspects of an ambulatory surgery center including
• Rights of Patients
• Governance
• Administration
• Quality of Care Provided
• Quality Management and Improvement
• Clinical Records and Health Information
• Infection Prevention and Control, and Safety
• Facilities and Environment
• Anesthesia Services
• Surgical Services
• Pharmaceutical Services
• Pathology and Medical Laboratory Services
• Diagnostic and Other Imaging Services
High Desert Surgery Center has proudly achieved the highest rating during each survey since our opening in 2008! 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 Accreditation Association’s high standards.
