What is AAAASF Accreditation?
The initials AAAASF stand for the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities. The AAAASF develops and implements standards of excellence to ensure the highest quality of patient safety through an accreditation program. In short, it means that Dr. Rich’s Houston plastic surgery operating room has been inspected, and meets 100% of the standards set by AAAASF for Accreditation.

The AAAASF protects patients in an office-based surgery (OBS) setting by

  • Requiring surgeons to have hospital privileges for any procedure they perform in an OBS;
  • Mandating that only Anesthesia professionals provide deeper levels of anesthesia;
  • Holding each OBS to rigorous standards for a safe surgical environment, up-to-date equipment, and appropriate anesthesia drugs;
  • Assuring that Office-Based Surgery standards are the same as Hospital standards;
  • Using peer review (peer oversight) to inspect and re-inspect OBS facilities.
