QUAD A (American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc.), was established in 1980. Its primary mission is to ensure the highest quality patient care in the ambulatory surgery setting. Front Range Plastic and Surgery is a QUAD A accredited facility.
Setting the Standard for Quality Patient Care
These days, there is more to having surgery than just selecting your surgeon. QUAD A has designed an accrediting program to help provide patients with the assurance of safety and quality in all aspects of their outpatient surgery experience. To achieve this goal, every QUAD A-accredited ambulatory surgery facility must meet the most stringent national standards for equipment, operating room safety, personnel and surgeon credentials. The experts at QUAD A know that maintaining safety and quality in the ambulatory surgery facility is a dynamic process, requiring constant review and revision of standards to reflect the current state-of-the-art. As the leading accrediting organization, QUAD A has developed the systems to effectively monitor and implement the latest advances in outpatient care delivery advances that directly benefit patients. Following their mission – Global Accreditation Authority. Patients First. Always.
Safety
Quad A 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 top priority in an accredited facility. More than 2,800 outpatient facilities are accredited by QUAD A, one of the largest not-for-profit accrediting organizations in the United States. Surgeons, legislators, state and national health agencies and patients acknowledge that QUAD A sets the “gold standard” for quality patient care.
QUAD A programs include surgical, procedural, oral maxillofacial, international surgical and dental. QUAD A is also deemed by Medicare to accredit ambulatory surgery centers, rehabilitation and outpatient therapy agencies and rural health clinics. For more information, visit quada.org.
