What is the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC)?

Accreditation is a program that promotes safe, high quality patient care, while measuring the performance of the organization providing health care services in an ambulatory setting.

AAAHC accreditation means that the Tulalip Health System will participate in on-going self-evaluation, peer review and education to continuously improve its care and services. In addition, commit to a thorough, on-site survey by AAAHC surveyors, who are themselves, health care professionals, at least every three years.

The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc. also known as AAHC is the organization the Tulalip Tribes chose to work with on our accreditation.

Why is the Tulalip Health Clinic pursuing this accreditation?

The Tulalip Tribes’ long-term goal has been to achieve accreditation for the Tulalip Health System. Accreditation is an external, independent review of a health care delivery organization against nationally accepted standards and its own policies, procedures, processes and outcomes. It ensures that as a clinic we are delivering safe, high-quality patient care.

What additional benefits are there to being accredited?

With a Certificate of Accreditation, The Tulalip Health System will be recognized as exemplifying the following traits:

• Substantial compliance with nationwide standards for medical care
• Provide accessible, comprehensive and continuous, quality (patient defined) care
• Focus on provider/patient relationship
• Quality patient centered program policies that are effective and efficient
