AAAHC surveyors are volunteers: physicians, dentists, podiatrists, pharmacists, nurses and administrators who are actively involved with ambulatory health care. AAAHC offers a three year term of accreditation. An organization may also receive a deferral or denial of accreditation if compliance is not met.
In 2014, the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) certified Student Health Services as a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH). To achieve PCMH certification, our medical clinic developed care teams uniquely designed to increase patient access to comprehensive health care and wellness resources. The PCMH (or simply, âMedical Homeâ) service delivery model offers a superior approach to optimizing student health and wellness care.
