What is AAAASF Accreditation?


AAAASF, or the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, is an organization that works to keep patients safe in outpatient surgery centers. Often called "Quad A" accreditation, this certification is considered the best in the field for surgical facilities.

To earn AAAASF accreditation, a facility must follow strict guidelines in important areas, such as:

  • Keeping patients safe
  • Proper anesthesia practices
  • Training and qualifications for staff
  • Being ready for emergencies
  • Caring for and maintaining equipment properly

These facilities undergo regular inspections to ensure they continue to meet these high safety and care standards.

Why is AAAASF Accreditation Important?

AAAASF accreditation provides peace of mind for patients by ensuring that every procedure is performed in a controlled, safe environment. Here are some of the key benefits:

  • Patient Safety: Accredited facilities follow stringent protocols to minimize risk and ensure patient well-being.
  • Highly Qualified Staff: Only certified and trained medical professionals can perform procedures in AAAASF-accredited facilities.
  • Emergency Preparedness: Quad A facilities are equipped to handle medical emergencies with proper equipment and protocols in place.
  • Quality Assurance: Accreditation ensures that the highest standards of care are consistently met, from pre-op preparation to post-op recovery.

When you choose an AAAASF-accredited facility like PURE Cosmetic Center, you are choosing the gold standard in surgical safety and excellence.

What Types of Facilities Can Achieve AAAASF Accreditation?

AAAASF accreditation is not limited to large hospitals—it is also awarded to select outpatient facilities and private practices that meet its stringent standards. These include:

  • Ambulatory Surgery Centers: Facilities designed for same-day surgical procedures.
  • Private Practice Surgical Suites: In-house operating rooms within a medical practice, like PURE Cosmetic Center.
  • Specialty Clinics: Facilities focused on specific areas such as plastic surgery, dermatology, or gynecology.

Regardless of the facility's size or focus, achieving Quad A accreditation demonstrates a commitment to superior patient care.

What Types of Procedures Should Be Done in a Quad-A Accredited Operating Room?

Many surgical procedures, especially those requiring anesthesia, should be performed in an accredited operating room to ensure the highest level of safety. These include:

  • Cosmetic Surgeries: Facelifts, breast augmentations, tummy tucks, rhinoplasty, and more.
  • Reconstructive Procedures: Breast reconstruction, scar revision, and other corrective surgeries.
  • Combination Surgeries: Mommy Makeovers and other multiple-procedure treatments.

Choosing a Quad A facility ensures that your procedure is conducted in an environment that prioritizes your safety and comfort.

How Would I Know If a Facility Has AAAASF Accreditation?


Identifying an AAAASF-accredited facility is straightforward:

  • Verification on the AAAASF Website: The organization maintains a public directory of accredited facilities.
  • Accreditation Seal: Look for the AAAASF seal prominently displayed on the practice’s website or facility.
  • Patient Inquiries: Ask the facility directly about their accreditation status and request documentation if needed.

At PURE Cosmetic Center, we proudly display our Quad A accreditation as a testament to our dedication to safety and quality care.
