Physicians Surgery Center earns top certification

Physicians Surgery Center in Jackson is the first ambulatory surgery center in Tennessee to receive the Advanced Orthopaedic Specialty Certification from the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). The facility is one of two in Tennessee and 27 nationwide to achieve recognition, which further distinguishes the AAAHC-accredited surgery center from many other outpatient facilities for providing the highest quality of care.
The Advanced Orthopaedic Specialty Certification program assesses an organization’s use of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, ongoing performance-improvement strategies, and an organizational infrastructure that promotes excellence. Through an onsite survey conducted by clinical surveyors experienced in the ambulatory orthopaedic setting, the program provides a comprehensive focus on transitions of care from pre-assessment through discharge and rehabilitation.
