New England Surgical Suites, a collaboration between Shields Health, Reliant Medical Group, Orthopedics New England and New England Hand, is the first ASC in the state to achieve the dual certification, according to a Feb. 26 press release sent to Becker’s.
It is also one of only five organizations nationwide to be AAAHC-certified in both total joint and complex spine.
The certification is based on an evaluation that includes a self-assessment and an on-site survey led by the AAAHC that looks at clinical practice guidelines, ongoing performance improvement strategies and organizational infrastructure from pre- to post-procedure.
