AAASF accreditation

Guthrie Facial Plastic Surgery is proud to say that we have our own accredited operating suite in our office. This provides not only a private, comfortable setting for our patients to undergo surgery, but also an exceedingly safe environment. We took an extra measure beyond the required Tennessee state licensing, and demonstrated our commitment to patient safety by gaining accreditation from the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF).

AAAASF is dedicated to promoting the highest quality patient safety in the ambulatory surgery setting (office-based or outpatient).

AAAASF requires 100% compliance with all accreditation standards and does not offer partial accreditation. If a facility fails to meet any standard, it must correct the deficiency or risk denial or loss of accreditation.

To earn its accreditation, Guthrie Facial Plastic Surgery was inspected, and passed, on hundreds of critical criteria concerning patient safety. AAAASF facility inspectors are board-certified medical specialists trained to perform a thorough and complete facility inspection.

AAAASF facility inspectors follow a regimented procedure to inspect an outpatient surgery facility in the following categories:

General Environment
Operating Room Environment, Policy and Procedures
Recovery Room Environment, Policy and Procedures
General Safety in the Facility
Blood and Medications
Medical Records
Quality Assessment and Quality Improvement
Personnel
Anesthesia

AAAASF 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 2,300 outpatient facilities are accredited by AAAASF, one of the largest not-for-profit accrediting organizations in the United States. Surgeons, legislators, state and national health agencies, and patients acknowledge that AAAASF sets the "gold standard" for quality patient care.
