Quality & Safety

At Volunteer Surgery Center, we're dedicated to providing excellent care for our patients and to creating a safe work environment for our practitioners and staff. Working together and openly sharing important information with our employees, patients and the community make this possible, and can help you choose just the right ambulatory surgery center for your care.

We strive to be your trusted source of information. To help you begin making informed choices for health care services, we provide the following ambulatory surgery center comparison data.

The methods listed below showcase a ambulatory surgery center's ability to provide quality care for patients. Because each patient is different and outcomes of each case cannot always be predicted, measuring this data can often be difficult. The collection of health care data can also be challenging. As with any major health care decision, it's best to compare as many measurement types as possible to form the most complete picture of a ambulatory surgery center's total quality of care.

• AAAHC - The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc., is a private, non-profit organization formed in 1979 to assist ambulatory health care organizations in improving the quality of care provided to patients. They accomplish this by establishing, reviewing, and revising Standards, measuring performance, and providing consultation and education. AAAHC accreditation means that the organization participates in on-going self-evaluation, peer review and education to continuously improve its care and services. The AAAHC certificate of accreditation is a sign that a health care organization meets or exceeds nationally-recognized Standards. Learn more at https://www.aaahc.org/en/my-care/.
