The goal of the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF) is to develop protocols and standards that increase patient safety and provide for higher quality of care in outpatient surgical offices. Established in 1980, the AAAASF has accredited more than 1100 ambulatory surgical facilities in the United States.

In order to get accredited by the AAAASF, surgical facilities must pass an inspection and the Medical Director and physicians practicing out of the center must have appropriate credentials. After the outpatient surgical center receives accreditation, routine follow-ups and inspections will be conducted.

Physicians in various specialties run the AAAASF accreditation program. They ensure that each facility follows the proper standards of care in a number of areas, including anesthesia, recovery room policies and procedures, operating room policies and procedures, medical records, and personnel.
