NHI Achieves National Accreditation
New Hair Institute Medical Group, P.C. (NHI) has been awarded the certificate of accreditation by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc. (AAAHC). The award means that NHI has met nationally recognized standards for quality health care set by the Chicago-based accrediting organization. NHI is the first Hair Transplant Clinic in the United States to receive accreditation.
"We are pleased and proud to have achieved accreditation," stated Dr. Rassman, NHI's Founder, "Accreditation is very important and has helped us improve the quality of care we provide. We feel that our patients are the ultimate benefactors from our voluntary participation in the accreditation program."
In order to achieve accreditation, NHI underwent an extensive on-site survey of its facilities and services. The survey team, composed of physicians and health care administrators, evaluated all aspects of patient care. The survey findings resulted in a favorable decision.
Dr. Bernstein, NHI's Medical Director, points out that "Not all ambulatory care organizations seek accreditation and not all that undergo an on-site survey receive favorable decisions." In a letter to NHI, the AAAHC president said, "the dedication and effort necessary to achieve accreditation is substantial. New Hair Institute Medical Group is to be commended for this accomplishment."
The AAAHC conducts its accreditation program on a national basis and has accredited more than 800 ambulatory health care organizations including single and multi-specialty group practices, ambulatory and office-based surgery centers, college and university health services, health maintenance organizations and other managed care systems, dental group practices, community health centers, and occupational health centers.
AAAHC is a private, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization. It receives professional guidance and financial support from the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, American Academy of Dental Group Practice, American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, American College Health Association, American College of Occupational & Environmental Medicine, American Society of Dermatologic Surgery, American Association of Ambulatory Surgery Centers, Association of Freestanding Oncology Centers, Federated Ambulatory Surgery Association, Medical Group Management Association, National Association of Community Health Centers, and the Outpatient Opthalmic Surgery Society.
