Status as an accredited organization means CU Boulder Medical Services continues to meet nationally recognized standards for quality health care set by AAAHC. AAAHC Accreditation includes over 6,600 health care organizations across the United States and CU Boulder is proud to continue its affiliation with this nationally recognized organization

CU Boulder Medical Services offers outstanding and innovative care, symbolized by the AAAHC Ambulatory Accreditation. This re-accreditation further advances the reputation for superior quality and service to our campus community.

“The re-accreditation is important in that it shows that our organization continues to meet the highest industry standards for student health care service. Successfully completing the re-accreditation process is another signal to the health care consumer that the services and care provided by our facility are of high quality, meeting or exceeding industry standards,” said Janelle Taylor, Director of Medical Services.

 The AAAHC Accreditation process

The process takes three years, including an extensive self-assessment and on-site survey. AAAHC uses the 1095 Strong philosophy for accreditation, which seeks to identify and promote facilities that offer quality care every day. The name comes from the three-year or 1,095-day evaluation period.

The peer-based survey presents best practices to help an organization improve its care and services. The accreditation maintenance mindset includes ongoing compliance and continuous improvement in the facility’s daily activities. The intent of accreditation is for organizations to adopt policies and procedures that fuel quality and self-evaluation.

 CU Boulder’s reputation for outstanding care

Earning AAAHC Re-Accreditation demonstrates that CU Boulder Medical Services embodies the 1095 Strong, quality everyday philosophy, an ongoing commitment to high-quality care and patient safety. Third-party payors, medical professional associations, liability insurance companies, state and federal agencies, and the public all recognize the AAAHC Accreditation.
