Milestone Surgery Center in Parker Colorado Achieves AAAHC Accreditation
Milestone Surgical Center, LLC has been accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). Accreditation distinguishes this ambulatory surgical center from many other outpatient facilities through its adherence to rigorous standards of care and safety.
PARKER, Colo., April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Status as an accredited organization means Milestone Surgery Center has met nationally recognized standards for the provision of quality health care set by AAAHC. More than 6,100 ambulatory health care organizations across the United States are currently accredited by AAAHC.
1095 Strong is a transformational movement and call-to-action spearheaded by the AAAHC to equip ambulatory leaders with the best of what they need to operationalize quality practices. The three-year, or 1,095-day, period between accreditations is a critical time when ambulatory health organizations, with help from proven experts, can develop the kind of everyday habits that enable leaders in the industry to provide the utmost in quality care to their patients. Organizations, such as Milestone Surgery Center, that earn AAAHC accreditation embody the spirit of 1095 Strong, quality every day, an ongoing commitment to high-quality care and patient safety.
While the onsite survey is an important component of the process, ongoing compliance and continuous improvement are part of the accreditation maintenance mindset that a facility should integrate into its daily activities long after the survey has been completed. The intent of accreditation is for organizations to adopt policies and procedures that fuel ongoing quality improvement and self-evaluation every day.
"Our state-of-the-art facility—the only one of its kind in the region—specializes in minimally invasive surgery for gynecologic, urologic and urogynecologic (pelvic floor) conditions. At Milestone Surgery Center patients can expect unique and personalized care and attention every step of the way to ensure their surgical experience will be as comfortable as possible," says Oscar A. Aguirre, M.D., Founder of Milestone Surgery Center. "This experience begins with our friendly, experienced staff who will always make patients feel welcome and put their mind at ease from the moment they step into our spacious, contemporary waiting area." Dr. Aguirre, a double-board certified urogynecologist specializing in reconstructive and cosmetic vaginal surgery as well as neuromodulation for bladder and bowel control further elaborates - "As a high-volume minimally invasive surgeon with two decades of experience I'm excited to bring my patients to Milestone Surgery Center where they will receive more personalized care than they would otherwise in a large hospital complex. Furthermore, the data is clear - ambulatory surgery centers have a proven lower infection rate, complication rate and cost. This represents a tremendous value to both the patient and insurer."
Ambulatory health care organizations seeking AAAHC accreditation undergo an extensive self assessment and onsite survey by AAAHC expert surveyors – physicians, nurses, and administrators who are actively involved in ambulatory care. The survey is peer-based and educational, presenting best practices to help an organization improve its care and services.
