Avon, Conn.-based Orthopedic Associates Surgery Center has become one of just 33 ASCs in the nation to earn the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care's advanced orthopedic certification for total joint replacements.
Orthopedic Associates Surgery Center is managed by ASC management services organization Constitution Surgery Alliance, according to a July 23 news release from the practice.
The AAAHC certification recognizes surgical facilities that demonstrate compliance with higher-level quality expectations designed by experts in orthopedics.
Recognized ASCs are required to have a dedicated team of clinicians who specialize in orthopedic surgical care and are required to submit all surgical outcomes to a nationally recognized data registry.
