The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has renewed QUAD A's deeming authority, reaffirming the organization's dedication to upholding the highest safety standards in Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) nationwide.
This renewal is a significant achievement, reflecting QUAD A's unwavering commitment to patient safety and quality care.
Accreditation by QUAD A signifies that an ASC has complied with standards that exceed CMS standards, demonstrating a commitment to providing safe, reliable, and patient-centered care. The QUAD A seal signifies to patients that they are in capable hands.
More than just a regulatory nod, this decision underscores the profound impact of accreditation on patient care. QUAD A’s deeming authority approval means ASCs qualify for participation in Medicare and Medicaid programs via a chosen provider instead of the state survey process.
This renewed deeming authority allows QUAD A to continue its mission of setting the benchmark for safety and patient experience in ASCs nationwide. It reinforces the importance of a patient-first approach, prioritizing patient safety and well-being in every aspect of their operations.
Publication of the official announcement posted to the Federal Register November 12th. This serves as confirmation of QUAD A’s determination to lead with integrity, expertise, and a steadfast focus on patient care.
Since 1980, QUAD A (a non-profit, physician-founded and led global accreditation organization) has worked with thousands of healthcare facilities to standardize and improve the quality of healthcare they provide – believing that patient safety should always come first.
