Accreditation
It is a pleasure to inform you that the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc. (AAAHC) Accreditation Committee has awarded Hendrix Health Center a three-year term of accreditation. The dedication and effort necessary for an organization to be accredited is substantial, and your organization is to be commended for this accomplishment.
Granting accreditation reflects confidence, based on evidence from this recent survey, that you meet, and will continue to demonstrate throughout the accreditation term, the attributes of an accreditable organization as reflected in the standards found in the Accreditation Handbook for Ambulatory Health Care. The compliance with those standards implies a commitment to continual self-evaluation and continuous improvement.
The organization is encouraged to use the enclosed Survey Report as a guide to the ongoing process of self-evaluation. Standards that are marked as "PC" (Partially Compliant) or "NC" (Non-Compliant) must be corrected promptly. Subsequent surveys by the AAAHC will seek evidence that deficiencies from this survey have been addressed without delay and that the intent of the standards has been continuously evident during the term of accreditation. Statements in the "Consultative Comments" section of the report are representative of the "consultative" component of the survey and are not considered deficiencies, and do not affect the accreditation decision.
AAAHC trusts that you will continue to find the accreditation experience meaningful, not only from the benefit of having carefully reviewed your own operation, but also from the recognition that your participation in this survey process brings.
If you have any questions or comments about any portion of the accreditation process, please contact the AAAHC Accreditation Services department at (847) 853-6060.
