Licensed and Accredited
Not only is the Plastic Surgery Center at Kierland licensed by the Arizona State Department of Health, but It has also been awarded the Certificate of Accreditation by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Healthcare, Incorporated (AAAHC). This award means that the Plastic Surgery Center at Kierland has met nationally recognized standards for quality healthcare set by an internationally recognized accrediting organization.
To achieve AAAHC accreditation, The Plastic Surgery Center at Kierland underwent an extensive on-site survey of its facilities and services. The survey team, composed of physicians and healthcare administrators, evaluated all aspects of patient care. A favorable decision resulted thanks to the survey findings. To achieve AAAHC accreditation, Caniglia Facial Plastic Surgery had to meet the following points:
- Compliance with all applicable state and federal regulations
- Implementation of comprehensive patient safety protocols
- Rigorous infection prevention and control measures
- Continuous quality improvement initiatives
- Proper credentialing and privileging of medical staff
- Patient-centered care practices
- Effective governance and administrative oversight
- Maintenance of accurate and confidential patient records
- Ongoing staff training and education programs
- Availability of emergency equipment and procedures
- Regularly conducted internal audits and inspections
- Patient rights and ethical standards are upheld consistently
Not all ambulatory healthcare organizations seek accreditation, and not all of them that undergo an onsite survey see favorable decisions. In a letter to The Plastic Surgery Center at Kierland, the AAAHC President said:
“The dedication and effort necessary to achieve accreditation is substantial. The Plastic Surgery Center at Kierland is to be commended for this accomplishment.”
“We are pleased and proud to have achieved this accreditation,” said Dr. Ron Caniglia. “We think accreditation is very important and has helped us to improve the quality of care we provide. We feel that our patients are the ultimate benefactors of our participation in the accreditation program. Cosmetic surgery procedures are at an all-time high, making proper credentials and accreditation of paramount importance.”
